absolutely horrifying story from April by #BruceCTWright in #BlackAmericaWeb:

"The independent autopsy results for a Black man who died in the custody of a jail in Atlanta was 'killed' as the result of extreme neglect at the facility, where his body had been found to be 'infested' with insects, according to lawyers who were scheduled to make public the findings on Monday morning.

"Lashawn Thompson, 35, not only died under those inhumane conditions, lawyers added, but his death was also preventable since he was being held on allegations of a misdemeanor crime for which he couldn’t afford to pay a bond."
