In a video posted to Jussie Smollett’s Instagram page, Jocqui revealed that Cook County Jail is holding his brother in the psychiatric ward.

Jocqui said:

“What’s very concerning — is that there was a note attached to his paperwork today. Saying that he’s at risk of self harm. I want to make it clear that he is in no way, shape, or form at risk of self harm.”

Jocqui also asked for support in bringing attention to Jussie’s jail sentence.

Sentence

As reported, Jussie is currently serving 150 days in jail as part of his 30 month probation sentence for allegedly faking a hate crime in 2019. He must also pay $120,000 in restitution & $25,000 fines to the city of Chicagocity of Chicago.

Smollett believes race played a factor in his jail sentence telling his attorneys he predicted the outcome.

A judge convicted former Kansas City police detective Eric Devalkenaere of murdering a Black man in his driveway and sentenced him to six years in jail. A judge ruled DeValkenaere can stay out of jail while he appeals his sentence.

Disagree with whether Jussie is guilty or not, but the Smolletts have a point.
