Family asks: What happened inside Sacramento jail to leave woman in a catatonic state?

SACRAMENTO, Calif. — On July 6, a three-car accident at the 65th Street Expressway and Lemon Hill Road in Sacramento left three people injured, and started a nightmare for the family of Mishila Vickers.

Vickers, 29, was hurt in the crash and hospitalized for about a month, her family says, and three weeks after the crash she was charged with reckless driving.

But Vickers has been diagnosed with bipolar disorder, her brother Ryan says, and her illness led her to miss a court date, which led to her arrest in December and landed her in isolation inside the Sacramento County Main Jail despite having no previous criminal record.
