According to TMZ, The Bureau of Prisons stated “The BOP is committed to ensuring the safety and security of all inmates in our population, our staff, and the public. Humane treatment of the men and women in our custody is a top priority.”
R. Kelly claims they are subjecting him to “cruel and unusual punishment” because he’s a celebrity.
Kelly claims he was put on suicide watch after he was sentenced to 30 years in prison. Kelly says his 8th Amendment rights are being violated because “he is not suicidal and expressly told MDC officials that he was not suicidal and had no thoughts of harming himself or others.”
Kelly says he’s been placed in a single cell without bed rails, no showers, no shaving, no toilet paper, being forced to eat meals with his hands, and being shut off from loved ones.
