Clifford “T.I.” Harris and his wife, Tameka “Tiny” Cottle-Harris are normally inseparable, but Tip’s 11 month incarceration for federal probation violation kinda put a halt to all that.

Tiny was recently scheduled to make a trek down to Arkansas to see Tip, aka Inmate #59458-019, but she was advised by the prison officials that she had to wait to see her boo… a few MONTHS!

Details below:

Unfortunately Tiny’s delayed visit to her hubby may have absolutely nothing to do with Tip’s punishment but maybe… just maybe… has everything to do with her.

Federal prison regulations require extensive background checks on all visitors and while Tiny’s misdemeanor drug case was subsequently dropped in L.A., perhaps federal authorities recall that infamous hand-job incident.

By the way… no conjugal visits are allowed at the prison and according to the prison’s website, Tip isn’t scheduled to be released until September 29, 2011.
