Six more employees at an Alabama jail have been indicted in connection with the death of a mentally ill man who died of hypothermia after being held for two weeks in a concrete cell, while several of them have also been accused in the assaults of other inmates. The indictment is the latest round of charges related to the 2023 death of Tony Mitchel. A total of 20 people have been indicted or plead guilty. Prosecutors wrote in the indictment that for much of his two-week detention, Mitchell was held in a concrete cell that serves as the jail’s drunk tank with “no blanket, mattress, or clothing, and was routinely left naked on the bare concrete floor.” He was routinely covered in feces and was not provided with regular opportunities to shower or use a toilet. He was brought to the emergency room with a body temperature of 72 degrees before he passed.
