Guards Watch Prisoner Bleed to Death

I recently received an email from Patti Jones, the aunt of Tony Lester, whose death I reported here. Here's Patti bravely speaking about Tony's death to Channel 12:


In the comments at YouTube, a supporter of Sheriff Joe Arpaio calls Patti "FUNNY lol" and "a terrible actress." How sick is that? It just shows the mentality of Arpaio supporters.

people don't always die from the neglect, but it goes on constantly and NEVER gets any coverage.

Arpaio's supporters make me sick. How they can support such disgusting cruelty is beyond me. Then again, the whole authoritarian mindset is beyond me.

As an aside, I just finished reading Hard Time this evening. Thanks for the incredibly insightful read, Shaun.
