Five days into his 75-day jail sentence, Jussie Smollett is now complaining that he is at risk of COVID in jail and is worried about his mental health so should be let out early.
Smollett, 39, is being held in the medical unit of the Cook County Jail.
His family say he is being held in the psych ward and that there's a note on the door of his cell saying he is at risk of self-harm - which they insist isn't true.
They say it speaks to Smollett's courtroom outburst where he insisted he wasn't suicidal and claimed if anything happened to him in jail, it was at someone else's hand.
Now, the family is asking for him to be released again. They submitted an emergency motion in the appellate court on Monday, claiming he should never have been convicted.

He’s a girly-man... a pussy.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the whine.
Hissy fits don’ play in yere.
Two words GEN POP!
Go Jussie go..Your lawyers will do your idiotic bidding until you are totally out of money. Can’t wait to hear you ask me if I want fries with that.
One call from VP Harris (the one who put Jussie up to this) and he walks.
It’s a state court so I assume fat boy Pritzker can pardon him anytime.
Just jab (vax) him a few dozen times.
You may be right.
When did he go from 150 to 75 days in the slammer? I obviously missed something.
Omg. This is nuts. Celebrity black and gay privilege.
His family released a threatening phone call they supposedly received... lawyers asking for his immediate release... https://www.tmz.com/2022/03/14/jussie-smollett-lawyers-demand-release-jail-threats-covid/
People used to lie so they could get insurance coverage for filming. He might have made a mistake saying this...
I guessing that there are probably very few if any MAGA types in that jail and most are probably what Obama would call his sons, so therefore Smollett will be very safe and protected.
