That’s why it’s called the cooler. They put him on ice.

Crazy how they thought they could get away with that.
If you knew anything about Walker County Alabama, you’d not be surprised in the least.

But I couldn't imagine dealing with all those Walker County meth heads on a daily basis.
it or not, organized crime has been a thing there for a long, long time.
The FBI is now involved in this case, not the first time they've been to Walker County. The agent in charge of the Carrie Lawson kidnapping case, stated at the time, that they undercovered so much other, unrelated stuff during their investigation, that they should open a permanent field office there. This was 1990-91.

I don't think people understand how horrible our jails are. I'm not saying they should be anything nice, it's jail, but the way they're run and the people who run them are corrupt, dirty assholes.
Being in there, for me, was like some weird, fricked up social experiment that went wrong. The guards let this power they have go to their head and do some fricked up shite. I imagine because they have such pitiful lives at home and power at work, all that misery is taken out on people trying to do their time. The environment is so fricking weird.
I understand not rehabilitating certain offenders, sex offenders come to mind right off top. However, for us to expect people who may have a few months or years to come out of those fricked up places rehabilitated is beyond laughable. It's why recidivism is so high. 99% of the time, you only learn how to do worse is their.
In EBR parish, we ran out of toilet paper in the middle of the summer. Fun times. That doesn't even hold a candle to some of the shite I saw up the road. One of the less graphic things I'll share is they had this guy in there who had some medical condition. He kept telling the prison and no one would do anything. Iirc, he had some liver issues and his skin was turning yellow, to the point it was noticeable to everyone in there. I guess the jail finally noticed it, brought him to the doctor, dude was dead the next day in a holding cell.
Again, I don't think jail or prison should be a pleasant experience. I also don't think humans should treat other humans like animals.

Body temp 72 degrees. No reason to bring hypothermia into this, dude was just dead and room temp.

Lol at the pig supporters in the thread. You continually get evidence of how corrupt, incompetent, power hungry and completely ignorant of the law they are yet you continue to defend them.

Pretty sad but Walker County is an interesting place. Somebody should certainly go to jail over that though

This guy belonged in a hospital, not in solitary confinement. If all of this is true, the cops responsible for this need to fry.

I’m having deja vu. The article is dated today, but did we not discuss this a week ago?

Mitchell’s family claims that a doctor saying Mitchell was hypothermic means he was likely “placed in a restraint chair in the jail kitchen’s walk-in freezer or similar frigid environment and left there for hours,” before his death, according to the lawsuit.
The ER doc will be put on the stand. Civil suit has been filed by the family. The fired jailer has filed suit. The FBI are investigating along with the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
Keep in mind, this is the same jail where, just a few short years ago a few inmates escaped using peanut butter.

Yea. I live about an hour away from Walker County and business quite frequently takes me to Walker County. In fact I was there less than a week ago.

I agree with this. The primary issue society will always face is the guards are basically the same societal class as the criminals, just without criminal records, and are paid slightly over minimum wage in most facilities. This creates a dynamic of low-wage idiots supervising the worst society has to offer. There is no way that turns out well.

The guy was a mental health patient with some serious problems. In Alabama, the most likely result for him is the locals will throw him in jail. If he does end up in a facility it will only be for a few days and then back on the streets.
A huge problem with mental health in our country, not just in Alabama, is that we have closed or severely defunded most public mental health facilities. Now, instead of being sent to a facility people with mental problems are sent to local and county jails and they become the sheriff's (and staff's) problem. Rarely do those jails have trained specialists or the proper facilities to care for those people. It isn't the sheriff's fault that we have devolved to that point. It is, however, his/their responsibility to ensure that they do what they can do for those inmates and that they are not mistreated. They clearly failed that in this case.
