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.
LaShawn Thompson
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.”
