On January 19, 2016, Mendeecees surrendered to FCI Allenwood Federal Prison in Pennsylvania. He had previously served 15 months in prison before being released on bail, so he still had nearly seven years to serve. However, he continued his legal battle from behind bars in an attempt to minimize his sentence, claiming that he was only a minor player in drug trafficking.

The reality TV star’s counsel also claimed that, before the announcement of his sentence, he completed community service up to four times a week, visiting youth organizations to prevent teenagers from committing crimes. In addition, while awaiting his sentencing, he handed up the $170,000 he earned from starring on the reality television show and from public engagements.
