Kevin Gates Banned From Louisiana Department of Corrections After Photos Shows Him Flaunting Cash Inside Facility

“As indicated in the photograph, it appears Mr. Gates had a large sum of cash, which is unacceptable, and a violation. It is against Elayn Hunt Correctional Center policy to bring case exceeding $300 into the prison, and any amount above that is considered contraband.”

Pastorick also revealed which employees got in trouble and why.

“Following the investigation, Warden Tim Hooper ended Perry Stagg’s detail as Deputy Warden of Elayn Hunt Correctional Center. He has been reassigned to his previous position as an Assistant Warden at Angola, which equates to a lower position on the prison operations organizational chart, and a cut in pay. Major Jason Linzy received a letter of counseling. Additional training has been provided to staff regarding visitation policies.”

Gates allegedly ruffled feathers when he reportedly initiated the visit instead of the inmate he was actually visiting. He was also given the green light to see another inmate, whose last name was also Gates after the rapper claimed they were related. Interestingly enough, a background search later proved this to be false.

Stagg also broke the rules when he let Gates skip the

“front gate body scanner and other means of contraband detection in disregard of policy per his instruction.”

Stagg is accused of treating Gates differently because of his celebrity status. When asked why he didn’t make a report of Gates having money, Lizzy said he was

“uncertain at the time it was approved or not.”
