JAY-Z and Yo Gotti have dropped their lawsuit against Mississippi’s infamous Parchman Farm prison, citing “improved” conditions within the facility. two years ago after Gotti, JAY-Z and Roc Nation’s philanthropic branch Team ROC filed a lawsuit against the prision and its healthcare provider Centene, citing the facility’s high death toll and rampant neglect of inmates’ basic human needs. Roc Nation’s social justice division secured legal representation for over 200 inmates housed at Parchman the division’s multiple suits caught the attention of the U.S. Justice Department, which was obligated to investigate inhumane conditions at the penitentiary. Those investigations have reportedly led to improved conditions within the prison, enough so that Team ROC dropped its suit against the maximum security prison after seeing the changes for themselves.
