According to Federal Bureau of Prisons records, Memphis rapper Pooh Shiesty—born Lontrell Denell Williams Jr.—has been taken back into custody, with a newly listed release date of April 11, 2026.
The records indicate that Shiesty is currently being held in Dallas, and the listed facility appears to be a halfway house, which is typically used for inmates nearing the end of their sentence. His updated release date is roughly three months from yesterday, aligning with standard Bureau of Prisons practice, as halfway houses often house individuals anywhere from 3 to 12 months before full release.
What remains unclear is the timing and reasoning behind the custody status. Shiesty has recently been seen out publicly, including filming music videos, raising questions about whether he was officially listed as “in custody” during that period. There is also speculation about whether this could be a temporary hold tied to a possible violation, though that scenario would usually involve placement in a federal detention center rather than a halfway house pending a court appearance.
At this time, details are still developing, and confirmation regarding the nature of the custody designation and any potential violations has not been finalized. More information is expected to emerge as records are clarified.
