Meek Mill's Community Service Screwup ... House Arrest Extended

Meek Mill should be celebrating his first night of freedom, but instead he's still on lockdown after failing to follow the judge's orders.

Sources connected to Meek's camp tell us he got hit with an additional 8 days of house arrest to give him time to complete the right kind of community service, because he volunteered at all the wrong places.

According to docs, the judge specified Meek needed to put in 90 days of work with the homeless, Habitat for Humanity or senior citizens and veterans. Meek's camp says that was never specified, but we've seen it in black and white.

We're told Meek spent time visiting schools, helping out with Flint's water crisis and delivering motivational speeches. Another problem -- we're told Meek only worked 6 days per week.

He did put in hours at homeless shelters, but clearly not enough.

Meek's original release date was Wednesday, but the Philly D.A.'s Office says it will reevaluate once his volunteer work is completed.
