'We're pleased that improvements have been made inside' of the prison in Parchman, an attorney for Jay-Z's Team Roc said, 'but we're also not going to take our foot off the gas.'
But over the past couple of years conditions at the prison seem to have improved substantially — enough so that last week Team Roc agreed to dismiss the claims in its lawsuit against the Mississippi Department of Corrections, signaling that one of Parchman’s fiercest critics is now confident that the only maximum security prison for men in the state appears to be turning a new page.
According to a"stipulation of dismissal" filed in federal court in Mississippi, the suit is being dismissed without prejudice, although Siev said that Team Roc's complaint against the state could be refiled if conditions deteriorate again. Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, previously shed light on the conditions inside when it released afeaturing interviews with family members of people who had died across Mississippi prisons and disturbing scenes from within the cells.
The department added,"We have and will continue to make diligent efforts to improve the quality of life for all individuals in the custody of the MDOC and provide them with opportunities to successfully return to their communities. That is our ongoing commitment."Mississippi Department of Corrections
