Mendeecees Harris, the husband of "LHHNY" star Yandy Smith, is set to be released from federal prison in November 2020. He was sentenced to eight years for drug trafficking back in 2015. Sharing more about when her husband's heading out to reunite with her, she said:

"He'll be home next year. Collectively, [he's been away] almost five years. It's a drop in the bucket to a lifetyime you have to spend together."

After finding out about his release from prison, Yandy happily shared that her husband will rejoin "LHHNY" with her and the rest of their cast members yet again.

Fighting for Inmates' Rights

The same way Menceedees has been active while in prison, Yancy has been trying to make a difference outside as well. After finding out about the inhumane living conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, she joined a rally and was pepper-sprayed in the process.

Smith and a couple of protesters, including Women's March co-founder Tamika Mallory, gathered outside the facility to protest the conditions.

With a husband in prison, the cause has been close to Smith's heart ever since. Now that her husband's set to be released soon, she need not worry about how well he's sleeping at night any longer.
