Ta'Neasha Chappell was arrested for theft in Brownstown, Indiana, in May 2021. Less than two months later, she was dead from an apparent poisoning in a local jail. Despite repeatedly calling for help, jail employees ignored her pleas—and even accused her of faking her symptoms.
Chappell's family has since filed a lawsuit against the jail employees who ignored her obvious need for medical attention—and the case is set to go to trial later this year.
