Remy Ma has penned a letter from jail touching on her experience in the big house so far: 

“I rarely listen to the radio because it’s sort of depressing,” Remy wrote in a letter. “Not being able to record is stressful not because I’m a rapper but because that was my way of venting and expressing myself. So I write a lot! So much that now I have a callous on my finger from holding a pen…Not being able to go somewhere when you want, see your family when you want (on many occasions when you need to), can’t use the phone, take a shower, wear clothes, or even eat when you want – super aggravating. Whenever, which is almost everyday I get visits, a lot of kids ask for autographs. It’s something that I used to do almost everyday but now it actually feels weird, I really feel like an inmate…Everyone in prison isn’t innocent but everyone in prison isn’t guilty. So whether you end up here on purpose or by accident, the pain you’re feeling is still the same. And I can quote a lot ‘gangsters’ by saying that ‘I wouldn’t wish this on my worst enemy.” Source

O Remy. I wish I could feel more sympathy for her but she deserves to be behind bars. Her incarceration has nothing to do with the persecution of hip hop, she’s in jail because she gatted her homegirl. 

It sounds like she may be learning her lesson, she seems to have a greater appreciation for freedom and everyday basics that civilians take for granted. I believe Remy got caught up living “that life” and she made a bad move the put her in the clink. Which sucks, because she didn’t even get to reach the height of her success. And with an 8 year bid, who knows if that will ever happen. 

The upside is that she has nothing but time on her hands to be creative and write, write, write. Say what you want about Remy, but the chick can flow. She’s gifted with words. Put that talent to work and write some material Remy! Some of the best pieces of literature, rhymes, poetry, were written from a cell. Here’s a video to remind you of the good times:
