TMZ.com<\/span>\n <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n The State of Mississippi is doing nothing to prevent inmates from dying under hellish conditions, according to Yo Gotti<\/strong><\/a> \u2026 who\u2019s sounding alarms in federal court.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n As we\u2019ve reported, the rapper\u2019s been outraged by what\u2019s going on at Parchman State Penitentiary and got Team Roc involved in a legal battle<\/strong><\/a> to improve conditions. Their latest move is filing for an emergency restraining order.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n According to the docs, 8 people in the prison have died in the last 26 days \u2014 and it\u2019s no wonder when you hear what\u2019s allegedly going on behind Parchman\u2019s walls. In the filing, they say there\u2019s just ONE guard for 160 inmates, in a particular cell block. Even worse, inmates throughout the prison are allegedly being served cold, rotten food containing rocks, insects, and bird and rat droppings \u2014 and toilets are spilling out onto floors. They also claim Parchman\u2019s drinking water is contaminated with human waste.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The biggest issue with the grossly understaffed cell block \u2014 in docs, they claim the limited number of guards \u201ccan\u2019t, or won\u2019t, enter Unit 29 buildings to prevent violence or even render much needed emergency medical assistance.\u201d Prisoners have resorted to setting fires just to get the attention of guards.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Widespread prison riots have been reported all month at Parchman.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n The emergency order seeks to have the court appoint an independent monitor to assume control of Parchman\u2019s day-to-day operations, and do whatever is necessary to make the prison livable. They say the current situation is unconstitutional as the 8th Amendment \u2014 barring cruel and unusual punishment \u2014 is clearly being violated.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Gotti tells us, \u201cThe situation at Parchman is a lethal humanitarian crisis. Our fellow humans are being held in facilities with little to no food, no clean water, no electricity, no heat, no blankets and in cells where the floors are full of roaches, rats, black mold and feces.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Watch Mississippi Gov Tate Reeves blame the murders and deaths at Parchman on inmates with cellphones. Had it not been for inmates with phones, no one would know the conditions of the prison. They would literally die in the dark w\/o them. #ShutDownParchman<\/a> #ParchmanPrison<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/JcmgU1HD0n<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Reporting-live-from-the-Kremlin🇺🇸 (@wishbumpycoulda) January 23, 2020<\/a> Interestingly, Mississippi Gov. Tate Reeves<\/strong> held a news conference Thursday where he claimed all the violence was the result of inmates having illegal cell phones.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n Gotti and many others aren\u2019t buying that. The Memphis rapper added, \u201cThere are inmates who haven\u2019t been able to shower for over a month. The incarcerated are human beings who deserve safe, healthy and humane living conditions \u2013 not torturous, deadly treatment. We won\u2019t stop until the Mississippi government makes sweeping changes to guarantee the safety of inmates.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n![\"Gotti\"](\"https:\/\/etrafficlane.com\/newline\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/1579046949_867_Yo-Gotti-Team-Roc-File-Lawsuit-on-Behalf-of-Mississippi-Prisoners.jpg\" "\\"Gotti\\"")
