Free Thugger!
This is just cruel and inhumane.
Sadly, I feel like this argument is likely to fall on deaf ears just like the last few.

Young Thug is once again trying to persuade the court to let him go.

Attorney Brian Steel argues that Thugger is “languishing in county jail.” Steel notes some of the health-related consequences, saying his client doesn’t have access to good food options and is forced to eat foods with “zero health benefits” such as chocolate and chips. Additionally, Steel says he’s suffering under restrictions like a lack of both fresh air and the ability to exercise, and only getting a few hours of sleep each night — even less when it’s a court day.

Steel says that “by the end of the week, Mr. Williams is fighting to pay attention to the goings on in his case,” and is asking for him to be bonded out with conditions. (11Alive)
