Kodak Black’s Family Threatens to Sue Federal Prison After Rapper Reveals Alleged Abuse

*Last week, Kodak Black took to Instagram to detail his inmate experience inside Miami’s Federal Detention Center; calling out officials Lieutenant F. Arroyo and Santiago Torres, for targeting him.

Now the rapper’s family plans to sue the facility over the alleged abuse. 

“Lieutenant F. Arroyo has been very vindictive towards me and I have a strong feeling it has something to do with me being set up, laced, bruised and brutally beaten two weeks before my court date,” the hip-hop star wrote on Instagram.

“There is a big conspiracy going on in this building on Me. Santiago Torres is using her position wrongfully in Miami FDC and is abusing her authority,” he continued. “She has been writing falsified incident reports on me, to take phone privileges that I get once a week while in solitary.”

Lieutenant F. Arroyo has been very vindictive towards me and I have a strong feeling it has something to do with me being set up, laced, bruised and brutally beaten two weeks before my court date. There is a big conspiracy going on in this building on Me. Santiago Torres is using her position wrongfully in Miami FDC and is abusing her authority. She has been writing falsified incident reports on me, to take phone privileges that I get once a week while in solitary. Also, doing anything to take my gain time so that I come home literally when I am supposed to. One morning, she pulled me out my cell to tell me she is going to “Take my pretty little girlfriend off my visitation list’. For no other reason but to add insult to my distress. Not being able to see my significant other while locked away in this hell hole. Also, I was denied visit with my mother on December 23, two days before Christmas. Not only does my incoming mail take an average of a month To get to me but they are messing with my outgoing mail as well. My family hasn’t received none of my letters for the holidays. Which is borderline cruel and unethical, but as if all this is not enough, on December 31 New Year’s Eve to be exact, I was handed an empty tray for breakfast. I brought it to their attention, but nothing was done for me. Since the camera shows them entering a tray through my flap, but meanwhile there is nothing in my tray when i. opened it. They are strategically killing me slowly in here. I have been humiliated over and over again. I am highly disappointed in the way they have treated not only me, but all the other inmates in this facility. With their self serving agenda they will always side with their fellow officers whether right or wrong.

On Wednesday, Marlene Simmons conducted a news conference alongside famed attorney Benjamin Crump, telling reporters that she is concerned about her son’s safety while behind bars.

In his IG post, Kodak said his mother was blocked from visiting him before Christmas and his family are not receiving any of his letters. He also claims prison officials often refuse to feed him. 

“I want to make sure my son is OK,” Simmons told the media, as reported by WSVN. “I want to make sure they don’t kill my son. If they kill my son, if my son dies, I’m going to kill myself too. My son, after God, my son is life to me. My son is everything for me.”

In November 2019, Kodak was sentenced to 46 months in prison for falsifying information when trying to illegally acquire firearms, per Complex.

Simmons and Crump said hours before their scheduled welfare check, Kodak was transported to a Kentucky prison.

“We believe they intentionally moved him, so he couldn’t meet with his attorneys,” Crump said. “… [Simmons] wants to make sure that while he’s in their custody, that he doesn’t end up dead, so she is very concerned as well as all of her family that these allegations are to be taken seriously.”

The Simmons family intend to sue the Bureau of Prisons for violating inmates’ civil rights. 

“When you have these instances of under funding and understaffed, well that makes prison’s dangerous,” Crump told NBC Miami. “So, if other inmates attack [Simmons’] son, who is a well known person, there are supposed to be guards who can handle a crisis situation.”
