Steve Greenberg, who serves as R. Kelly’s lawyer, has stated this his client has not been receiving enough medical attention during his time in jail. He also says his confinement is stifling. Among the problems, Kelly listed experiencing in prison are anxiety, numbness in his hands, and an untreated hernia.

Aside from health issues, Greenberg told TMZ that Azriel Clary, R.Kelly’s girlfriend, is currently on the waiting list to visit him in jail.
“Although he lives and has lived with two lady friends, only one of them is allowed to be on his visiting list, and after 90 days he’s required to switch,” Greenberg elaborated. Jocelyn Savage, the other lady, will have to wait her turn to visit him in jail.
