Jay-Z’s lawyer, Alex Spiro filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Greenville, Mississippi, saying because “these deaths are a direct result of Mississippi’s utter disregard for the people it has incarcerated and their constitutional rights.”
Alex, on behalf of Jay-Z and Yo Gotti, penned down a letter to Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant and DOC Commissoner Pelicia Hall, saying they were “prepared to pursue all potential avenues to obtain relief for the people living in Mississippi’s prisons and their families.”
The letter also revealed that the deaths were also caused by the understaffing and neglect at Mississippi’s prisons.
