Anthony Mitchell was not given water for more than 70 hours before being taken to a hospital on Jan. 26, according to a lawsuit filed by his mother.
He was left in his cell, dehydrated and in “frigid temperatures,” according to the lawsuit.
“What we’re trying to do is get these institutions to treat these people like humans as opposed to animals,” Goldfarb told The Washington Post. Mitchell, who lived in Carbon Hill, Ala., was a beloved son and brother. According to the lawsuit, he’d lived with his father until last year. After Mitchell’s father died in August, he “spiraled into worsening drug addiction” and experienced physical and mental health issues, the lawsuit says.
according to the lawsuit, which alleges that in two weeks at the facility, Mitchell was taken to use the shower or bathroom only six times.On Jan. 15, a corrections officer used a Taser on Mitchell in his cell, according to the complaint. As he fell to the ground of the cell, the fake teeth Mitchell wore — and needed to eat solid food — popped out. The teeth were collected and put in a property bag that was not given back to him, the lawsuit alleges.
Over the following days, he had an “obvious weakened state and obvious need for hydration” but wasn’t given any water, though officers interacted with him, the document says. It adds that by Jan. 25, Mitchell, who was “already stressed by dehydration from receiving no water for over two days,” became hypothermic because of how cold his cell was, wearing nothing but the gown.Early in the morning of Jan. 26, officers went to Mitchell’s cell.
