Pooh Shiesty's 'Inhumane' Jail Claims Shot Down by Federal Prosecutors
TMZ • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Pooh Shiesty claims his jail conditions are "inhumane," citing 23 hours of solitary confinement daily, but federal prosecutors argue he has ample privileges including Netflix, NFL games, and thousands of emails.
- Court documents reveal Pooh has sent or received over 12,000 emails and participated in 231 video visits totaling about 45 hours since July 1, with unlimited tablet access to entertainment.
- Prosecutors contend his isolation is for his protection after three inmates allegedly tried to break into his area and note his history of jail disruptions and fentanyl use.
- Pooh seeks to return to the general jail population and double his monthly in-person visitation time, but the government says he currently receives the same visitation privileges as other detainees, with no visitors since August 27.
- The rapper faces federal charges related to an alleged kidnapping and robbery involving Gucci Mane, to which he has pleaded not guilty; prosecutors are urging the judge to deny his request for improved conditions.
