On behalf of over 150 inmantes, Jay-Z & Yo Gotti filed a lawsuit on Wednesday against the Mississippi Department of Corrections because of the "barbaric" conditions at their penitentiary in the city of Parchman. The lawsuit, filed through their Roc Nation social justice department, went into detail about what's happening inside the facility:
“Many times, the food is adulterated with rat feces, cockroaches, rocks, bird droppings, and other foreign matter - The toilets routinely back up and flood the prison cells, which allows fecal matter, urine and water to cover the floors and drain out into the housing unit’s common space…the portable water system at Parchman is contaminated with human feces, presumably from the sewer system. Prisoner-on-prisoner violence is rampant, and, at times, is facilitated by corrupt guards seeking to curry favor with inmates."
Here's some uncensored video of how horrific the conditions are inside:
This is beyond sickening. No one deserves to live like this.
