Lil Wayne set to test how jails handle celebrities

NEW YORK (AP) -- Lil Wayne may be a self-professed gangsta with the gunshot wound to prove it, but he's made plenty clear how he feels about doing time behind bars. "I'd rather be pushin' flowers," he raps in 2008's "A Milli," "than to be in the pen sharin' showers." He might have to get used to it. At the apex of a career that has made him one of music's biggest sellers, the Grammy-winning artist is expected to start a yearlong jail term Tuesday after pleading guilty in a New York City gun case.It would make him the latest in a string of rappers to go to jail after rising to fame and the latest celebrity inmate to test law enforcement officials' ability to draw the line between providing special treatment and recognizing potential risks to high-profile convicts."It's a challenge," said Martin Horn, a former head of the New York City jails, where Lil Wayne's plea agreement calls for him to serve his sentence.

"It's not about setting (a celebrity) on a bed of roses, but it is about an obligation to every inmate to keep him safe."

For now, jail officials say only that they will assess the multiplatinum-sellin g Lil Wayne as they do every other new arrival and find an appropriate place for him among the city's roughly 13,000 inmates.
