Buju Banton was convicted on three drug charges in relation to a December 2009 incident in which he conspired to organize a drug deal in a police controlled warehouse. He is currently serving his ten sentence at the Limestone County Correctional Institution in Groesbeck, Texas. The “Destiny” singer is scheduled to be released from prison on February 1, 2019; counting time already served between his two drug trials. However, Buju’s legal team has long indicated that they would appeal his conviction in an effort to reduce his sentence.
