Internationally acclaimed superstar, Buju Banton will hear his fate tomorrow in a Florida courtroom regarding convictions on drug & gun-related charges. If Buju is ordered into a federal prison though, dont expect to hear any new material from him anytime soon.

Buju, real name, Mark Myrie will not be allowed to record any new singles behind bars if he must serve his sentence in a U.S federal prison, starting tomorrow. According to Chris Burke, a public affairs specialist at the Federal Bureau of Prisons in Washington, DC, federal guidelines ban inmates from engaging in any sort of business activities.

Despite music programmes allowing inmates to practice using instruments, Burks implies that recording equipment is not allowed within such facilities. Burke told the Jamaica Gleaner, via email, "It (recording music) is on our list of prohibited activities for which inmates are subject to disciplinary action.

However, Buju will be allowed to keep his dreadlocks & practice his Rastafarian faith under strict supervision within the prison confines. Burke insisted that normally federal prisons dont require their inmates to cut off their locks or remove body hair. Buju converted to Rastafarianism in 1994 following the death of close friend and fellow Rastafarian Reggae singer, Garnett Silk.

Buju faces 15 years to life behind bars following convictions of three of four charges including conspiring to organize a drug deal & a gun related charge stemming from a 2009 incident. Buju was convicted a day after winning his the Best Reggae album for his Before The Dawn album that was released in 2010. His most recent single was released last week on Ghetto Youth Internationals Jah Army Riddim entitled Dont Worry.
