Curfew on Monday at 6 PM!” he concluded.
Raphy Pina’s Prison Term
On May 24, Raphy Pina confirmed he was at home after spending two years in a federal prison in North Carolina. He was later transferred to a transition center in Miami. "We all want to be free in our minds because confinement is temporary. I’ve been experiencing something incredible at home these past three days," he shared.
The owner of Pina Records clarified, "I’m still under the custody of the U.S. Bureau of Prisons (BOP) and cannot appear on social media until my sentence is fully served or authorized.”
At that time, Pina also expressed his eagerness to connect with his millions of followers soon. "There’s not much time left before I go live and share the best stories and advice with the growing youth who need to understand many things that only become clear in confinement," he commented.
The Puerto Rican producer was sentenced to 41 months in prison after being found guilty of illegal firearm possession.
