Dallas rapper Yella Beezy is facing a sharply different reality following his capital murder conviction in the 2020 killing of fellow rapper MO3. A report published by TMZ says the rapper will be subject to strict correctional rules, including no conjugal visits and a limit of one shower per day.
Beezy, whose legal name is Markies Conway, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole after a Dallas County jury found him guilty of capital murder in connection with MO3’s death. The prison-condition details now attracting attention are drawn from a facility handbook cited by TMZ; they should not be mistaken for confirmation of every individual arrangement that will apply to Beezy.
No Conjugal Visits Under Reported Rules
According to TMZ’s account of the handbook, conjugal visits are not permitted. The report says Beezy may be eligible for in-person visits once a week for up to two hours, subject to institutional approval and his classification.
Family members and a romantic partner may be allowed to visit, but the handbook provisions described by TMZ limit physical contact to brief gestures such as hand-holding and kissing while visitors and inmates remain seated on opposite sides of a table.
One Shower A Day And Limited Personal Belongings
The report further states that inmates covered by the handbook are allowed one shower per day. Beezy could be assigned a bunk in either a cell or a dormitory, while personal property must be kept within a small storage box.
Commissary purchases are also reportedly restricted. TMZ says the permitted spending range is between $25 and $85 every two weeks, depending on an inmate’s offender classification. The exact amount available to Beezy has not been publicly confirmed.
Life Sentence In The MO3 Murder Case
The restrictions follow the jury’s November 11, 2026 verdict in the killing of Dallas rapper MO3, born Melvin Noble. Prosecutors argued that Conway arranged and paid Kewon White to carry out the fatal shooting in 2020. The jury convicted Conway of capital murder, and the court imposed a sentence of life imprisonment without the possibility of parole.
The Associated Press reported that prosecutors said Conway paid White $40,000 to carry out the killing. White was separately convicted and sentenced to life in prison. Conway’s defence disputed the prosecution’s case, and his legal team has indicated that it intends to appeal.
MO3 was fatally shot on Interstate 35 in Dallas on November 11, 2020. The killing shocked the city’s hip-hop community and remained under investigation for years before the trial reached its conclusion.
Earlier Courtroom Report On HeadlinesXtra
HeadlinesXtra previously reported on the emotional moments following the verdict, including NBC 5 Dallas-Fort Worth’s account that Beezy reportedly fell in a courthouse hallway after being taken into custody.

That earlier report concerned the events immediately after sentencing, while the latest TMZ story focuses on the correctional rules Beezy may face. The two reports describe separate aspects of the aftermath of the conviction.
What Happens Next?
Although the sentence is life without parole, the case may continue through the appellate process. An appeal can challenge legal issues arising from the trial, but it does not automatically suspend or overturn the conviction.
For now, the reported restrictions offer a picture of the institutional limits that can shape an inmate’s daily routine, from visits and showers to personal property and commissary spending. Beezy’s actual housing assignment and classification-specific privileges will depend on decisions by the relevant correctional authorities.
