Rapper T.I., currently serving an 11-month sentence in prison for violating his probation, chartered a bus for 46 family members of incarcerated inmates to visit their loved ones behind bars.

The families visited inmates serving time alongside Tip at the Forrest City Correctional Facility in Forrest City, Arkansas. The families came from Alabama and Georgia for the trip, called "To See A Loved One."

"I've been blessed to receive tons and tons of mail from my fans, family and friends, as well as get visits on a regular basis. Unfortunately some guys aren't as fortunate," T.I. told MTV News via statement. "There are a lot of good dudes in here that haven't been able to see there loved ones in years. Their families can't afford the trip so I wanted to help out."
