The network A&E has given the green light on an upcoming docuseries created by Jay-Z, Yo Gotti, and Team Roc that exposes the Mississippi Department of Corrections.

Roc Nation’s main goal is to highlight the corruption that happens in the Mississippi prison system through the docuseries.

“Exposing Parchman” will follow JAY-Z, Yo Gotti, and Team Roc as they work with a group of inmates to reform the state’s prison system. The series will also show the group’s ongoing legal battles with Parchman and discuss the corruption and abuse practiced by the correctional facility, Complex reported.

“In 2020, Roc Nation and Team Rox launched a fight to put a stop to the literal death sentences imposed on inmates through the inhumane, violent, and torturous conditions created by Parchman prison officials,” said Desiree Perez, Roc Nation’s the CEO. “We are honored to develop this series with A&E, Good Caper, and ITV to continue to make sure the atrocities and history of Parchman are top of mind on a national stage.”

“A&E has the privilege to partner with Roc Nation to tell the truly urgent story of Parchman Prison as we continue our commitment to impactful programming,” Elaine Frontain Bryant, Executive Vice President and Head of Programming for A&E added in a statement. “The series is emblematic of larger issues within the U.S criminal justice system, and we hope it spurs desperately needed awareness both at Parchman Prison and nationwide.”

Team Roc’s battle against the Mississippi Department of Corrections started in January 2020 after they filed a lawsuit alleging that inmates died due to “years of severe understaffing and neglect.” In a second case, the team spoke on behalf of 152 prisoners and slammed the facility for its “barbaric” conditions and lack of medical care.

Jay and his team also filed legal documents claiming that Parchman did not meet the COVID-19 guidelines at the peak of the pandemic, and the group is set to uncover more in their new series.

The docuseries will air in four parts, but the release date has not been announced.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles
