Jussie Smollett case: Video shows actor being booked into Cook County Jail

Video obtained by FOX 32 Chicago through a FOIA request shows the moments actor Jussie Smollett was booked into the Cook County Jail after his sentencing hearing last month.

[@peterjones4621]

Why didn't they just keep him there. All the money spent on the trial, the lawyers, given a sentence just to be let out a day or two later. This is the epitome of injustice. Living in this day and age is a nightmare.

[@manchitas3531]

Because he is a privileged boy with friends in high places. BTW the "I am not suicidal" shout was only the prelude to the next hoax. He went on a hunger strike until he got his way. But it is alright, street justice is always stronger that friends in high places. The public will always have the last word and career wise, he is a dead man walking. His family is a bunch of crooks too, and they will all go down together. I can't see any succeeding in public life

[@zeniashanze1882]

this day and age? you make it sound as if things were better before. rich people wouldnt even have had to face this much if it was before

[@sherrihimes7357]

Wonder if his thoughts were how stupid am I 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣MAGA COUNTRY BABY

[@jmwilson6792]

Right. He didn't even have enough time to get plunged.

[@AB_Evans]

What a joke. Video shows a wealthy, privileged, bad actor wasting taxpayer's dollars. A man who would've willingly put an innocent man in jail if it meant he could further enrich his life, career, and social standing. One who has been proven to be a liar, yet continues to get special treatment. Anybody else would still be locked up, and be having to truly deal with the consequences of their bad choices and actions. Sh*tcago "justice" is abhorrent!

What else can we waste taxpayers money 💰 On?

[@trailhopper883]

I hope he has a picture of Emmettt Till's open casket he has to look at everyday. His "co star" comparing him to Emmett Till is beyond sick and evil !!.

[@marypritchett1267]

Trail Hopper that's beyond belief that anyone anywhere would compare that out of control narcissist to Emmit Till who was a true victim. RIP Emmett Till❤️

[@PrincessPink433]

I’d say at this point, no one cares.

Lol Will Smith took all the attention off Juicy

[@aurelioa315]

I am so sick and tired of hearing about Jesse and his self inflicted troubles.

[@Langkowski]

If he had acted like a grown up and finished his sentence, we would no longer have heard about him after he was released from jail. But because of his appeal he will probably be around in the news for some time to come yet.

BACK THE BLUE / NOT THE THUGS

DEFUND THE POLICE! BLACK LIVES MATTER!

Yep cause the blue are the thugs

[@Curious-Irish-Angel]

🙄 He will go through it all again once his appeal is rejected. Although it seems he was able to skip Getting deloused & The intake Bull Pen Hopefully he *did* get to enjoy the outstanding cuisine while he was there... 1/4 🌟 There is no way this dude will ever see genral pop

[@Langkowski]

According to his lawyer he lived on nothing but ice water while in jail

[@canileaveitblank1476]

@@Langkowski Good! He’s gained quite a bit of weight since this stunt was acted out. He needs to get back down to “Beef Cake” weight to resume his career. 💰Privilege on Full Display💰

Oh, PUH-LEEZE🙄. You pre-1980 babies are so delusional. Didn't November 3, 2020 and January 6, 2021 teach you anything?

[@addamz3277]

Anyone else has to wait OVER 6 HOURS to be booked!

[@Langkowski]

He's just doing research for his next music video

[@adamcorcoran7338]

He got off completely free. His fine doesn't have to actually be paid for a long time and someone else will pay it. He is allowed to travel anywhere he wants as long as he makes a phone call to his probation officer. And it will literally take 6 years for his appeals to run out. He basically got no punishment other than a few days with special treatment.

[@mackcarlo]

He got let off because the justice system and the man upstairs knows that he is such a cowardly Soul that he couldn’t handle the full extent of the Law. His punishment is basically the full blown public humiliation.

They should have kept him

[@LanaMyslyvetsPlanners]

Crazy, looks just like checking into a Hotel, but Not. 😳

[@Plumbump]

lol, what kind of cushy ass intake was that?

[@grizzlycountry1030]

Preferential treatment including that custom painted cell. If you notice other cells they are white or light beige.

[@OperationChicago]

I am so confused about a lot of these comments here, this is how they treat everyone, at least from my experience. Well, he got a better, bigger and brighter cell, but everything else is good. Better here then southern Illinois, those guys hate people from Chicago :(

[@Curious-Irish-Angel]

ya got that right partner 🤠 ?? What are you talking about? I lived in Chicago up until about 5 years ago. I moved to Southern IL and no has said anything to me with the exception of the apparent fact I have an accent and I am not locked up.. 😅

[@LaidBack--]

No this is NOT how they treat everyone, lol. He's privileged by the fact he doesn't even have to see another inmate his entire processing while taking multiple hrs less than the "regular" detainee.

[@gfjdhdfghfdjgf6167]

he's already out

[@OperationChicago]

@@LaidBack-- When I was in that shit hole, they treated me tha same exact way, but without tha big bright cell. As far as being with other inmates goes, come on, you know he can't with with other inmates. Before I say he can't fight for fuck sake, they would attack him real bad for the publicity. You know that man, lol.

[@OperationChicago]

@@gfjdhdfghfdjgf6167 I see that, wtf, lol.

[@TheSolowShow2]

They got him.....meanwhile, there are shootings happening on the Dan Ryan Expressway every 2 hours.

[@jeannettelondon3206]

It took all these officers to oversee one prisoner it goes to show money talks and being privilege what was the purpose of his trial just to get a slap on the backside and to say keep up with the lies you will get off you just need to go to the pulmonary you will be home soon if this was anybody else it would not end up this way

[@manchitas3531]

Koo koo alert! THANK YOU, LOVE IT. I wanted to see him cuffed. He porked up waiting for the verdict. About 20+ pounds..?

He get a luxury cell🤣

R.kelly and him are gonna be celly's

[@rodrigolara6733]

Well at least he acts better then Amber. Her acting was really bad.

[@kych2008]

Did they walk to the whole Chicago .

[@TheSolowShow2]

Jail is where he wanted to be so he can have some menz to himself. He didn't find any of them attractive, so he wanted to get out.

[@ja2415]

What happens next for jussie smollett

[@Langkowski]

He is waiting for his appeal to get a second chance in court (which could actually take two years). If it is rejected it's right back to jail where he will finish his sentence (69 days, because in Chicago is one of those places where people only do half of their sentence unless they cause trouble during sentencing).

[@mtooleyj8351]

Poor Juicy !

Hahahaha

[@deborahjohnson6720]

I know those Police Were Not happy they had to treat Him with Respect while the Cameras were On them . Nice to See a Young Black Man Treated with Respect Regardless of his crime .

[@michaelshelbyjr8011]

Seeing this video has nothing to do with Jussie, and everything to do with the conditions of the jail.

[@FlyyHigh834]

thts a nice ass cell

[@123leemur]

Ikr. That bigger then a student accommodation I stayed in back in the day.

[@johnfreeman1164]

A majority of the Court of Appeals thought that Jussie would probably win his appeal (they'll be hearing it) and they thought that it would be unfair for him to have already have served his sentence, so they set him free. It's only fair.

[@jirenthegray]

I'm so happy he is out! He deserves a second chance. I can't wait to see him in more movies and TV shows. What an actor!
