JT, a member of American hip-hop duo, City Girls, recently launched her “No Bars Reform” initiative, which offers services to women who have served time in prison.
A statement on the organization’s website reads, “After spending almost two years in a Florida Prison before being released in 2020, JT has vowed to use her voice and platform to help other incarcerated women rehabilitate into society by assisting with resources such as therapy, job placement, social services, and housing.”
JT has had her own experience in jail after being detained and accused of aggravated identity theft in 2018, where she was given a 24-month sentence in federal prison – however, she was freed on March 7, 2020. To mark the end of her sentence, she released the freestyle, “JT First Day Out,” in late 2019.
