Currently, an inmate search on the New Jersey Department Corrections website states that Max B, who is housed at East Jersey State Prison, is not eligible for parole until November 9, 2025.
In 2009, Max B (born Charles Wingate) was sentenced to 75 years in prison after being convicted multiple counts kidnapping, armed robbery, and felony murder following a 2006 robbery-murder case in New Jersey.
In 2016, with the help a new legal and management team, the Harlem rapper entered a plea agreement for a reduced charge aggravated manslaughter. His previous charges first-degree murder, first-degree robbery and first-degree kidnapping were subsequently dropped.
In a later interview with Hot 97, French Montanadetailed Max Bs new arrangement.
Well, he took a plea deal, Montana said. Cause them numbers was crazy they gave him. That whole 75 years. Cause he blew trial. So, when he took the plea deal, they just knocked down the years down from 75 to 20. But he already got almost 10 years in He can come home as early as two years. But if he fuck it up in there, he could do up to six He thinking he gonna die in there. They gonna own his cfin. Now 20 is like a walk in the park.
