Jay-Z and Yo Gotti filed a second lawsuit against Mississippi’s Parchman Prison for inhuman condition.
Via bossip:
After already exposing one of the worst institutions, Parchman Prison, for inhumane conditions including rampant inmate violence, rodent and roach infestations and lack of medical care, Team Roc is filing a lawsuit.
Team Roc’s lawsuit is on behalf of 152 inmates who say that they are under “constant peril” at Parchman and that the environment is “so barbaric, the deprivation of health and mental health care so extreme, and the defects in security so severe, that the people confined at Parchman live a miserable and hopeless existence confronted daily by imminent risk of substantial harm in violation of their rights under the U.S. Constitution.
In January, Jay-Z filed a lawsuit on the behalf of 29 inmates and the Justice Department said they were doing a civil investigation. DOJ is investigating to see if the prison officials are doing enough to keep the inmates protected and quality of the mental health care suicide prevention efforts.
Since Dec. 29 at least 18 inmates have died so far in the state prison.
