Sheff G Alleges Inhumane Conditions at Marcy Correctional Facility, Appeals to Fans for Support
Brooklyn rapper Sheff G is raising serious concerns about his treatment while incarcerated at the Marcy Correctional Facility in New York. He recently took to social media to detail what he describes as inhumane conditions and alleged mistreatment by prison staff. This situation has prompted him to ask for assistance from his fanbase.
Details of Sheff G’s Claims
On Wednesday, November 19th, Sheff G shared a series of posts on his Instagram Story outlining his grievances. He alleges a pattern of unjust and degrading treatment. Here’s a breakdown of the key claims:
* Unlawful Housing: He states he’s been removed from general population and placed in the handicap dorm, which he believes violates his rights.
* Threats Related to His Career: Sheff G claims prison staff are threatening him specifically as of his status as a rapper.
* Unneeded Restraint: He alleges being handcuffed and left outside in the cold for two hours without justification.
* Unsanitary and Degrading Conditions: He paints a disturbing picture of the handicap dorm, describing unsanitary conditions including inmates struggling with bowel control and urine-filled bottles being discarded in shared spaces. He specifically mentions the shared use of sinks for both hygiene and waste disposal.
These conditions, he asserts, are “inhumane and unjust.”
Background of the Case
Sheff G began serving a five-year sentence on October 1st after pleading guilty to RICO-related charges in March. The charges stemmed from an inquiry into gang activity and violence in Brooklyn. His decision to plead guilty brought an end to a legal battle that had been closely followed by fans and the music industry.
What You Can Do
Sheff G has directly appealed to his supporters to take action. He shared the phone number for the Marcy Correctional Facility, encouraging fans to call and voice their concerns.
This situation highlights broader questions about conditions within correctional facilities and the treatment of inmates. It also underscores the power of an artist’s platform to bring attention to issues within the justice system.
Ongoing Developments
