Wu Tang ODB out of prison but in mental ward

Wu Tang Clan's Ol' Dirty Bastard has reportedly been released from prison but is held in a New York mental hospital, with a full release hoped for in July.

Reports suggest Wu Tang Clan's Ol' Dirty Bastard, who has been incarcerated since being busted for the possession of crack cocaine in 1999, has been released from an upstate New York prison, but is being held for the short term in a New York mental hospital because authorities believe he could pose a public safety risk if put on the street. Word is they hope to release him proper in July. Wu Tang's GZA has told hip hop website AllHipHop.com: "It's good to have Ol' Dirty closer to us now. He is almost there, he is almost out for good."
