Pooh Shiesty Allegedly Locked In His Cell 23 Hours A Day-Lawyers Say His Mental Health Is Declining Before Gucci Mane K*dnapping Trial

Pooh Shiesty’s legal team is fighting to change his jail conditions, claiming the Memphis rapper is spending 23 hours a day confined to his cell while awaiting trial.

Attorneys for Shiesty, whose real name is Lontrell Williams Jr., reportedly filed an emergency motion Thursday, October 15, challenging his treatment at Rolling Plains Regional Jail in Texas.

His lawyers allege the facility has restricted his monthly visitation to just two hours instead of the four-hour minimum they argue he should receive.

“He has not been told who or what poses a threat to him, and no one has explained why confining him to his cell 23 hours per day is necessary to address it,” the motion states.

According to his defense, jail officials have cited unspecified safety concerns despite Shiesty allegedly having no significant disciplinary issues.

His family is also raising concerns about his mental health.

His aunt, who traveled from Memphis for a visit that lasted just one hour, claimed she has “seen Lontrell decline mentally and emotionally” since his transfer.

She described him as “worn down, extremely anxious, and seems severely depressed.”

His attorneys want a judge to end the restrictive confinement and restore visitation privileges.

The emergency request follows Shiesty’s unsuccessful attempt to secure bond in July. He has pleaded not guilty to federal k*dnapping and r*bbery charges involving Gucci Mane. His trial is scheduled for February 22, 2027.
