Gucci Mane Calls Out Prison Holding Pooh Shiesty For Poor Conditions

Gucci Mane is taking a stand for Pooh Shiesty who's currently incarcerated and living under cruel conditions.

On Wednesday, December 14, the 1017 founder took to social media to inform the public of the horrendous ordeal his artist is going through. According to Guwop and attorney Bradford Cohen, Pooh Shiesty, born Lontrell Donell Williams Jr., has been transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Pollock in Grant Parish, Louisiana where he's only allowed one hour outside of his cell and reportedly receives "empty food trays." Gucci then called for an investigation of the prison and even tagged President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris in his post.

"We do not pay attention to how inmates are treated!" Gucci tweeted. "Pooh has been sent to a prison over 1500 miles from his home, 23hr lockdown and given empty food trays. USP Pollock should be investigated immediately."

Cohen, who serves as Pooh Shiesty's lawyer, confirmed Gucci's suspicions to TMZ, and provided more insight on his client's situation. Back when the "Back In Blood" rapper plead guilty to firearm conspiracy charges, he asked if he could serve his time at a prison that's located about 200 miles from his home in Tennessee. Unfortunately, he was sent to FCI Pollock, which is a lot farther.

Pooh Shiesty has been under a 23-hour lockdown for the past six months. He claimed that the prison is interfering with his mail. Officials have reportedly been holding back letters from family and fans while blocking letters from being sent out. In addition, it's also becoming "virtually impossible" to see his family since he can't have any visitors while under lockdown. Cohen himself said that it took him two to three weeks just a set up an appointment with his client.

So far, the Federal Bureau of Prison has declined to comment on the allegations Gucci raised. They told TMZ there are numerous factors they take into consideration when placing inmates like medicinal requirements or additional security. Pooh Shiesty is currently serving a 63-month sentence. He will be on supervised release for three years after he leaves prison.
