Jay-Z, Yo Gotti sue MDOC over conditions

Rappers Jay-Z and Yo Gotti filed a second lawsuit this week against the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

This suit targets the state’s notorious Parchman Prison where at least nine inmates have died since the beginning of the year.

It was filed on behalf of more than 150 inmates housed in the prison.

It alleges ‘barbaric’ conditions within the facility, including food contaminated with rat feces and cockroaches, flooded cells, and lack of medical care.

Last month, the two rappers helped more than two dozen inmates file another class-action lawsuit against the prison.

It attributed inmate deaths to years of systemic neglect and severe understaffing.
