Raggae legend Buju Banton released after years in jail

Jamaican reggae star,  Buju Banton has been released from a federal prison in Georgia.

He was released Friday Dec 7th from the McRae Correctional Facility in Georgia after he was convicted of federal drug charges in February 2011 for illegal possession of a firearm and conspiracy to possess cocaine with intent to distribute.

Banton was sentenced to 10 years in prison until his attorneys appealed to be reduced a year later, citing his “limited participation” in the drug operation that led to his December 2009 bust.
