The world is currently facing a massive challenge to get rid of the coronavirus. A lot of lives have been lost as there are 1,139,207 confirmed cases of COVID-19 (277,985 in the United States) as at the time of writing this and 60,874 deaths recorded worldwide. While reacting to the quarantine which has been put in place to curb the spread as much as possible, Meek Mill in a tweet, stated that the first time he was on quarantine was in jail.
It appears the rapper whose real name is Robert Rihmeek Williams, was just reflecting on his state in jail having been in isolation there from the rest of the world.
Meanwhile, Jay-Z and Meek Mill’s criminal justice reform organization is sending nearly 100,000 surgical masks to several correctional facilities across the U.S. This also includes the troubled Mississippi State Penitentiary at Parchman and the Rikers Island jail complex in New York City.
It’s understood the masks is supposed to help correctional officers, health care workers and inmates in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
