Grammy-winning recording artist Lauryn Hill has been in prison for about two weeks, and the former Fugee decided to let her fans and the public know how she’s doing as she completes her three-month stint for failing to file her taxes.


Hill wrote a letter from prison, sharing her state of mind and thanking everyone who still supports her.


Her message reads:

“I have known since very young to look for the purpose and lesson in everything, including the trials. Although it has taken some adjustment, I cannot deny the favor I have encountered while in here, and general warm reception from a community of people who despite their circumstances, have found unique ways to make the best of them. Thank you for the letters of concern and well wishes that I receive in the mail every day. Although I may not be able to write everyone back, please know that they have been received, read, acknowledged, and appreciated. With love back, MLH.”


Hill entered the minimum security facility at Danbury, Conn. back on July 8. The facility is described as having military-style barracks as living quarters for inmates. In 2012, she pleaded guilty to tax evasion on more than $1.8 million in income that was generated from 2005 to 2007.
