Pooh Shiesty Gets New Jail Agreement In Gucci Mane Kidnapping Case

Pooh Shiesty could be headed to another Texas jail after weeks of complaints about the isolation he’s facing while awaiting trial in the Gucci Mane kidnapping case.

Lawyers on both sides have agreed to look for a different facility.

The agreement emerged at a Tuesday hearing over his conditions of confinement, according to CBS News Texas.

The judge didn’t have to settle that dispute because prosecutors and defense attorneys agreed to work together on finding another placement.

The Memphis rapper is being held at the Rolling Plains facility in Haskell, where his attorneys have challenged the terms of his detention.

His attorneys said in October filings that he spent about 23 hours a day alone and had sharply limited family visits.

His aunt described the toll in a court letter that CBS cited: “He’s worn down, extremely anxious and seems severely depressed from being locked in a small room for most of the day, every day, with only two hours per month to see a family member in person.”

Prosecutors disputed that account, saying separate housing protected him after other inmates tried to reach him for an autograph.

As AllHipHop previously reported, they also cited more than 12,000 emails and about 230 video calls while opposing his emergency request for better treatment.

The government pointed to tablet access as another way he could communicate and pass time.

That fight over jail conditions is separate from the allegations that put him behind bars. Federal prosecutors charged nine men, including Pooh Shiesty and Big30, over an alleged January 10 armed confrontation at a Dallas recording studio.

They alleged Pooh Shiesty used an AK-style pistol to force a victim to sign paperwork releasing him from a recording contract.

Other defendants allegedly took jewelry, watches and cash while the victims were prevented from leaving. Pooh Shiesty has pleaded not guilty, and Tuesday’s agreement concerns another detention facility rather than release from custody. CBS didn’t identify a new jail or a date for the move.

AllHipHop previously reported that his trial was set for February 22, 2027, with a final pretrial conference scheduled for February 17.
