Actor Jussie Smollett’s Criminal Trial to Begin After Years of Delay

Member

posted

Jussie Smollett’s time in the Cook County Jail will be spent in protective custody, away from the jail’s general population, court records show.

Cook County Judge Judge James Linn agreed with Smollett’s attorneys’ recommendation that the former “Empire” actor be kept away from most of the other 6,000 inmates of the sprawling jail complex in Little Village.

Jussie Smollett sentenced to 150 days in jail, ordered to pay back Chicago $120K
The order granting protective custody was entered shortly after Linn sentenced Smollett to 150 days in jail and 30 months of probation for lying to police about a phony racist and homophobic hate crime attack he orchestrated on himself in January 2019.

I did check the OP, and was really directing my 'suggestion' towards ZSMICHAEL, not implying an admin/moderator take the initiative to do so...

Protective custody is no picnic. Not sure about Cook County. CPDsig would know. Some jails keep those folks on a special unit locked down 23 hours a day.

The best part was that he had to go to jail right away. There was no "report in at this date".

As far as protective custody goes, meh. Not like he'll be at the Ritz. Isn't PC sort of like solitary anyway? Protect him from the other guys and protect him from himself?

This way he won't be able to regale his cellmate with his tales of derring do

Cook county is more like OZ, the series. Most inmates would prefer the general population to socialize with other inmates and pass the time. Jail if very loud,smelly and incredibly boring. It changes you forever.

"Special treatment" in jail usually means 23 hour a day isolation and one hour for exercise, if that. It's not all it's cracked up to be, or so I've been told by guys who've gone through it. And there may be a modesty smock instead of jail scrubs to wear if they do think he is the least bit suicidal.

I'm really indifferent, but community service is always an option. 8 hours a day picking up trash along the highway tends to humble people, and inmates don't even get a sharp stick to do it.

Hey, if he's put on suicide watch, at least he'll be on TV (closed-circuit)!

Want some real punishment? Put him in a cell that doesn't have a mirror!

Frankly, it is a damn shame that hanging him with his own noose wasn't an option.
