| Lauryn Hill |
Grammy-winning singer Lauryn Hill began serving a
three-month prison sentence in Connecticut
on Monday for failing to pay about $1 million in taxes over the past decade.
Hill reported to federal prison in Danbury , said Ed Ross, a spokesman for the
federal Bureau of Prisons, according to THR. Inmates at the minimum security prison live in
open dormitory-style living quarters and are expected to work jobs such as
maintenance, food service or landscaping.
Hill, who started singing with the Fugees as a teenager in
the 1990s before releasing her multiplatinum 1998 album The Miseducation of
Lauryn Hill, pleaded guilty last year in New Jersey to failing to pay taxes on
more than $1.8 million earned from 2005 to 2007. Her sentencing also took into
account unpaid state and federal taxes in 2008 and 2009 that brought the total
earnings to about $2.3 million.
