Tory Lanez is “fighting for his life” inside the California prison system, according to a Thursday (May 28) report from AllHipHop.
Tory Lanez Says He is A Victim of Retaliation From Prison Guards
Court documents obtained by the outlet claim that Lanez is a victim of retaliation. From guards at the California Men’s Colony, where he is currently serving his sentence. Lanez claims that the guards are threatening him with “escalating threats and intimidation tactics designed to push him into a more dangerous prison yard.”
In a statement to the outlet, the rapper’s attorney, Crystal Morgan, says that Lanez has been disciplined for things that “do not have a legitimate reason for correction.
“[Tory Lanez] is receiving capricious violation write-ups for non-infraction activities which do not have a legitimate reason for correction. As these alleged violations only began after the filing of the underlying complaint,” Morgan said in the statement. “Such actions have a chilling effect on all people who are incarcerated, as it demonstrates to Plaintiff and other individuals what will occur if they exercise their First Amendment right to redress the government for grievances.
This is not the first time Lanez’ life has been threatened during his incarceration.
Last May, the rapper was stabbed 14 times during a prison brawl.
And Santino Casio, the man who executed the attack on Lanez, is as dangerous as they come. The 42-year-old inmate has been in the facility since 2004. After he was sentenced to life imprisonment for convictions of second-degree murder and first-degree attempted murder.
Thankfully, Lanez was able to fully recover from the attack.
The rap star is currently serving a 10-year prison sentence. For shooting rap star Megan Thee Stallion in the foot during an altercation after a party in 2020. He is scheduled to be released from Prison in August 2033. However, he will be eligible for parole in November 2029.
