Pooh Shiesty has scored a legal victory in his ongoing battle over his jail conditions.
The Memphis rapper, who is awaiting trial on kidnapping and robbery charges involving Gucci Mane, has secured an agreement to end the 23-hour daily isolation he has reportedly endured at a Texas detention facility.
Full story below…
According to Complex, both prosecutors and Shiesty’s legal team agreed to address his confinement during a hearing on November 10.
The 27-year-old, whose real name is Lontrell Williams Jr., has been held at Rolling Plains Regional Jail in Haskell, Texas.
His attorney, Kent Schaffer, welcomed the development, revealing that Judge David Godbey expressed concern over the conditions.
Schaffer said he was hopeful that his client would be transferred to another facility within days.
The lawyer also detailed the rapper’s alleged treatment, claiming he has been confined to a small cell for 23 hours a day since July 1, with the lights remaining on around the clock.
Last month, Shiesty’s legal team filed an emergency motion challenging his isolation and restrictions on family visits. They argued that the conditions were affecting his mental health and sleep.
Federal prosecutors defended the restrictions on security grounds and pointed to his access to a tablet for calls, messages, and entertainment.
However, Schaffer countered:
“Screen time does not substitute for human contact.”
The court agreement does not mean Shiesty is being released from custody. His new detention location has also yet to be confirmed.
As previously reported, the rapper was denied bond in July.
The case stems from an alleged January incident involving Gucci Mane at a Dallas recording studio, with prosecutors subsequently presenting surveillance evidence to support their allegations.
Shiesty has pleaded not guilty, and his trial is scheduled to begin on February 22, 2027.
