Tiny is royally ticked off at federal prison officials.

T.I.'s wife Tameka "Tiny" Cottle says the feds are just trying to target and make an example out of her husband by dragging him back to prison.

Tiny is speaking out, because "It's important that the world know how unfair he's being treated on such minor charges ... all because he's T.I."

According to T.I.'s wife, "There are way more dangerous and carefree [celebrities] that just get slapped on the wrist and sent on their way."

"Our family needs [him] ... and because of a personal vendetta, we have to watch our kids' sad faces everyday when he still doesn't show up."

Yes and no. T.I. is at fault for brazenly violating his probation last year and ending up back behind bars in the first place. Tiny was arrested, too.

On the flip side, being yanked back because of his reality show and taking a tour bus to the halfway house? Now that there is some bull$h!t.

He's done his time. Now free T.I.!
