42 Dugg Describes Stark Prison Conditions He’s Experiencing

The Detroit rapper also says he’s been the target of harassment by the facility’s staff.

42 Dugg is currently being housed at the United States Penitentiary in Atlanta and is claiming that the living conditions at the facility are harsh.

The Detroit rapper recently made a since-deleted post on Instagram describing what’s been happening behind the walls, including him having to heat his food with “nasty ass shower” water.

“Let me update yall on what’s really going on,” he wrote. “ATL US marshalls tryna keep me from going home I supposed to got out [sic] oct 14th of last year they illegally held me without reasoning because they felt my federal judge in Detroit shouldn’t of gave me ah bond, I let that slide then after I got sentenced [one of them] tell me he not sending me to ah prison, he gone make me do my time in ah county jail which is ten time worst, then he had the nerve to tell me he knows where I live.”

Additionally, Dugg says he’s been the target of harassment from prison guards and other staff at the facility, claiming that they’ve “been sending all kinda guards” to talk to him and letting him know that they are actively trying to “ruin” his life.

“Im in jail for going to the gun range, dropping dirty an failure to appear. I didn’t steal from nobody, hurt nobody, they handling me crazy. Man im in this b***h heating my food up with the water from the nasty ass shower, they dont even give us hot water to heat our food up aint no microwave, I can’t get no visits from my family nothing. Im sure they gone do some more illegal s**t but what I pose to die in this b***h for probation violation.”

On Wednesday (May 17), Dugg followed up, noting that his cell had been “raided” very early in the morning. "They raided my s**t last night man at 3am lol they taken me to war, I need Johnny Cochran lil cousin or sumn its on the flow in this b***h."

42 Dugg received an additional one-year prison sentence after pleading guilty back in March for failure to surrender for service of a sentence. In 2020, the rapper was arrested in a federal gun probe in which he was convicted of being a felon in possession of a firearm.
