Yo Gotti and Jay-Z's Team Roc are giving inmates in Mississippi a helping hand.

On Tuesday (Jan. 14), Gotti and Team Roc, Roc Nation's social justice department, revealed that they have joined forces in order to help get legal representation for 29 inmates in Mississippi. Gotti and Team Roc helped file a lawsuit against Commissioner of the Mississippi Department of Corrections, Pelicia E. Hall and Marshall Turner, the Superintendent of the Mississippi State Penitentiary on behalf of inmates Michael Amos, Pittrell Brister, Antonio Davis and 26 others.

“The lives of countless individuals in Mississippi are at stake and we will not stop until this is fixed," Yo Gotti says.

Back in 2018, 15 inmates died inside the prison within one month. Since late December, five deaths have occurred within state prison walls. Four of the deaths were due to violent disturbances. The "Pose" rapper and Team Roc want to ensure that the current inmates and the deceased receive justice.
