Kanye West Checks In & Out Of Jail

Yeezus reported to the slammer for less than an hour yesterday. After his mug shot and fingerprints were taken, he was released. Damn, that was quick!

Kanye West slinked into a police station for less than an hour Thursday ... when no one was looking.

Kanye was booked in connection with his misdemeanor battery case ... for beating on a photog at LAX. He pled no contest earlier this month and was required to turn himself in for booking.

So Kanye -- and his crafty lawyer -- chose yesterday at 4:30 PM. He went to the Hollywood LAPD station and got his mug shot taken and then got fingerprinted. It took a grand total of 49 minutes and he was out.

Kanye has to keep his nose clean for 2 years and also has to attend 24 private therapy sessions for anger management.
