## Key points

- Prosecutors say Shiesty’s jail restrictions are justified.
- He says isolation is harming his mental health.
- His trial is tentatively scheduled for February.

## Summary

Federal prosecutors have urged a judge to reject Pooh Shiesty’s claim that his jail conditions are “inhumane”, saying restrictions are justified by concerns about safety and the rapper’s potential effect on the facility. The dispute matters because Shiesty says prolonged isolation is harming his mental health while he awaits trial and has not been convicted in the case.

Shiesty says he is confined for 23 hours a day and has limited visiting hours; prosecutors say he has extensive access to a tablet for video calls, email, games, music, Netflix and the NFL Channel. They cite three inmates trying to enter his cell for an autograph, alleged concerns about his conduct at a previous halfway house, and his reported admission that he recently took fentanyl. He was arrested over an alleged armed confrontation and robbery involving Gucci Mane, and faces a trial tentatively set for February with a potential sentence of 30 years to life.
