Jussie Smollett Placed In Psych Ward At Cook County Jail - Brother Reveals

Jocqui Smollett made this known via an Instagram video saying,

“So Jussie is currently in a psych ward at the Cook County Jail.

What’s very concerning is that there was a note attached to his paperwork today and put in front of his jail cell saying that he’s at risk of self-harm.”

It was later on  reported that the Cook County Sheriff’s Office in Chicago has stated that Smollett is not being held in solitary confinement. That the use of “solitary confinement was abolished” at the Cook County Jail in 2016. Any claims that he is being held in that manner are not true.

‘Mr. Smollett is being housed in his own cell, which is monitored by security cameras in the cell and by an officer wearing a body-worn camera who is stationed at the entrance of the cell to ensure that Mr. Smollett is under direct observation at all times.”

The statement also clarifies that Smollett is “entitled to have substantial time” out of his cell.

He has the ability to use the phone, watch TV as well as interact with staff. No other detainees will be in the common areas when he is there.

The protocols the jail has are often used for people who are in protective custody who may “potentially be at risk of harm due to the nature of their charges, their profession, or their noteworthy status.”
