Trigger warning: explicit description of violent death, mental illness
A jailed man’s death has just been ruled a homicide in Alabama, USA, after he was subjected to freezing temperatures, sparking allegations of deliberate abuse and neglect. The case has further unveiled a doctor’s note with gruesome details about the inmate, as well as unaddressed mental illness.
Inmate Anthony Don Mitchell, also nicknamed “Tony,” who had “serious mental and psychiatric needs,” was reportedly put in a concrete tank known as “the freezer” before he died from hypothermia.
