The Chaos and Heartbreak of Mental Health in America
BEDLAM* HAS NEVER GONE AWAY
A schizophrenic victim! Arrested on a MISDEMEANOR charge! Dumped not into some backwoods hoosegow but into FULTON COUNTY JAIL IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA! Left alone as he was EATEN ALIVE BY BEDBUGS!
He had a name, LaShawn Thompson, and an age, 35.
An Atlanta attorney for Thompson’s family was quoted as calling this atrocity “the most deplorable death in custody case in the history of America.”
