JAY-Z’s Examination of How the Justice System Fails People of Color Is a Must Watch (Video)Īlong with Jay and Team Roc’s support, Memphis, Tennessee native Yo Gotti is moving forward with legal action over the conditions seen in the video, filing for an emergency protective order in federal court on behalf of dozens of inmates. Captured by prisoner phones, the multiple deaths and living statuses within the Parchman have inspired Yo Gotti and JAY-Z to take legal action. The NSFW-footage highlights a knife fight between two prisoners, some graphic injuries, and indications of poor conditions.
With the Parchman, Mississippi facility holding about 3,600 of the state’s 19,000 inmates, Team Roc, which is Roc Nation’s philanthropic arm, is countering otherwise with the release of a graphic video meant to show the inhumane conditions and high levels of violence taking place. JAY-Z and one of Roc Nation Management’s clients, Yo Gotti, continue to get involved. Recent news of nine deaths of inmates at Mississippi State Penitentiary has reignited the public stir that arose in 2018 when 15 inmates died inside the prison all within one month. Since late 2016, the Roc Nation founder has used his power, his influence, and his company to take on the bail bond industry by paying for the release of incarcerated fathers, condemn many of the criminal reform measures currently in place, and to bring awareness to some of the atrocities that take place behind the walls. In recent years, JAY-Z has devoted lots of energy and resources to prison reform.
