Lawyers for Beanie

Sigel have submitted a proposal seeking to enter the rapper into a drug and psychological

counseling center.

The request came

after U.S. District Judge R. Barclay Surrick rejected a $1 million dollar bail

package that would have freed Sigel until his trial for attempted murder.

Surrick gave the

attorney’s until tomorrow to submit an adequate formal treatment proposal to

keep the rapper from behind bars.

Sigel has been

in Federal custody for a month. He faces Federal weapon and drug charges stemming

from an April incident, when he allegedly tossed a loaded handgun during a foot

chase with police.

He was also charged

with attempted murder in July, after he allegedly shot a man in the stomach

and foot outside of a Philadelphia bar.

Sigel denies the

charges, saying that he was present before the incident took place.
