 Breaking News: Wesley Snipes Has Gone To Jail

Wesley Snipes has surrendered to the Federal Correctional Institution McKean in Pennsylvania today after being sentenced to three years in prison on tax-related crimes. According to Traci Billingsley, the chief public information officer for the Bureau of Prisons;

“Wesley Snipes has self surrendered to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp at the Federal Correctional Institution McKean, in Bradford, Pennsylvania.”

We reported earlier that Snipes was appealing his conviction, and hoping for a miracle – and he said that;

“We still have prayers about that – we still believe in miracles. So don’t sell me up the river just yet. Alright?

“I think any man would be nervous if his liberty is at stake. I’m disappointed that the system seems not to be working for me in this situation.”

Wow, I can’t believe that he’s gone to jail! What do you think of Wesley Snipes going to jail?

I still cannot believe this! Wesley Snipes could actually do serious time in jail for his crimes. The actor has a case against him for tax related crimes and he’s ordered to report to the Federal Correctional Institution McKeana, a medium security prison in Pennsylvania, next week.

Wesley is appealing the case on grounds that the jury was prejudiced against him, but the judge denied him the right to wait on bail while the appeal is heard.


Do you think he’ll end up serving his time, or will he end up getting let out after three minutes, like most celebrities? I have to say, tax fraud is a new monster so I’m not sure what the procedure is. We typically see the starlets heading to jail for DUI’s, not money related crimes!

Wesley Snipes in custody for jail sentence

Wesley Snipes is reportedly due to begin a three-year prison sentence for tax evasion.

TMZ reports that the actor, who was found guilty of multiple charges in 2008, was ordered to surrender himself to authorities in order to serve his sentence.

Snipes is now understood to be in the custody of federal authorities, and is "in transit" to a federal prison.

Earlier today, US district judge Terrell Hodges ruled that Snipes's appeal against his sentence had no grounds.

Judge Hodges said in a ruling: "The defendant Snipes had a fair trial.

"He has had a full, fair and thorough review of his conviction and sentence by the Court of Appeal; and he has had a full, fair and thorough review of his present claims, during all of which he has remained at liberty.

"The time has come for the judgement to be enforced."
