Pooh Shiesty Wants To Be Back In General Population

For context, Pooh Shiesty’s attorneys filed a motion to get him out of solitary confinement on Oct. 15. At the time, they claimed he was being kept in solitary for 23 hours a day and was allowed only two hours of visitation per month. Additionally, the paperwork claimed no one had provided a reason for the solitary status. Moreover, his aunt also declared that she observed a mental decline in her nephew due to the conditions.

Prosecutors Suggest Pooh Is Living Well Behind Bars

Meanwhile, federal prosecutors are giving Pooh Shiesty’s claims that “aht aht” energy, asking the judge to reject the rapper’s requests. In a response filing, the feds reportedly said the rapper has ample digital access, including television and email. They claim, per TMZ, that he’s sent or received 12,342 emails and had 231 video visits totaling 45 hours since July 1. And that’s not all. The rapper reportedly has a tablet with unlimited access to features like music, games, Netflix and even the NFL channel.

Prosecutors Say Solitary Confinement Is For Rapper’s Protection

As mentioned, Pooh Shiesty is petitioning the court to join gen. pop in and increased visitation. But federal prosecutors claim the seclusion is for the rapper’s own good. In their paperwork, the officials claim three inmates tried to break into the area Pooh was in, seeking autographs. Moreover, the feds say that Shiesty admitted to fentanyl use behind bars and had a history of disrupting jail operations.

Also, they’re not budging on the visitation increase, saying he’s getting the same number as the other inmates. Apparently, Pooh hasn’t had any visitors since August 27.
