R.Kelly has through his lawyers appealed to the Bureau of Prisons to let him out of solitary confinement.

The music star’s lawyers filed an emergency motion on Thursday August, 29, 2019, arguing he should be released from solitary confinement while awaiting trial on child pornography charges.

According to them, R.Kelly has been denied access to other humans in jail, hasn’t gotten sunlight since his confinement, limited access to emails and only gets to shower three times a week.

However, the Bureau of Prisons says the reason behind R.Kelly’s solitary confinement is because of his celebrity status and the nature of the charges he is been accused of.

His lawyers say that Instead of moving him to a number of floors that are available outside of general population, BOP moved Kelly to “the most restrictive floor,” in the Metropolitan Detention Center in Chicago where he is been held.

It would be recalled that a few weeks ago, R.Kelly was hit with fresh sex crime charges by the court. He has since been remanded in prison custody.
