Jay-Z and Yo Gotti Demand COVID-19 Testing for Prison After Number Goes Up

Jay-Z and Yo Gotti have been going hard for a Mississippi prison. They have been saying the inmates weren't being treated like humans and they were living in inhumane conditions. But then comes the pandemic. Jay and Gotti say the inmates aren't being taken care of and the numbers are rising in the Parchman prison with infected people. According to TMZ ROC's lawyers filed documents accusing the state penitentiary of serious testing failures on the heels of reports of a coronavirus outbreak among just a small sample of inmates. As of the end of July, 132 prisoners of more than 2,000 had been tested for COVID with 33 percent being positive. Team ROC say the numbers are rising instead of going down. On top of that, prisoners who tested positive were able to move around to different units with no precautions. It's just crazy. Jay and Gotti believe the inmates should be treated like a regular civilian. They want better testing and protocols implemented.
