Pooh Shiesty is confined to a jail cell for 23 hours a day, and his attorney says the rapper's mental health is being affected. On Thursday (Oct. 15), Pooh's attorney filed an emergency motion asking a judge to intervene regarding the rapper's confinement conditions at Rolling Plains Regional Jail in Haskell, Texas. According to the motion, Pooh is on a 23-hour lockdown and is only getting two hours of visitation a month. Pooh's attorney says that Pooh hasn't committed any infractions that would prompt the "inhumane" conditions he is being held in. "Because these conditions are not reasonably related to any legitimate governmental objective, and because the isolation in particular is adversely affecting Mr. Williams’s mental health, he requests that this Court order the Marshals Service to require RPRJ to bring Mr. Williams’s conditions of confinement into line with the standards applicable to federal pretrial detainees generally," the motion reads. The judge has yet to rule on the motion. Pooh Shiesty's attorney, Kent Schaffer, tells XXL: "The order has not been signed yet but hopefully will be soon. There is no reason to house him under inhumane conditions. He would not be treated this bad after a conviction so certainly he shouldn’t be while presumed innocent." Pooh Shiesty is currently awaiting trial after being arrested in April for federal kidnapping charges. Prosecutors say Pooh, his father, Big30 and six other men kidnapped and robbed Gucci Mane at a Dallas recording studio in January. Pooh has pleaded not guilty and has been denied bond. His trial is scheduled to begin on Feb. 22, 2027.
