LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. - Multiple investigations are underway into a series of deaths at the Gwinnett County Jail.
Eight people have died since a new administration took over in January 2021. That’s more than any other metro jail of similar size.
The deaths include at least one suicide, two drug overdoses, and one prisoner who suffered a ruptured ulcer.

Here's something not mentioned, and people aren't told. Half the Medical Staff (I.E. Doctors and Nurses) were people who started off in the private sector but were kicked out. They were people that got fired for things like stealing and/or using drugs, multiple malpractice suits, alcoholism, incompetence etc. These people couldn't get hired in any clinic or hospital, so the Government throws them a bone. Hires them cheap to work on prisoners. This is a system that's been a place for a very long time.
lol, so true...I retired from working at a state prison, and hands down, the medical staff was THE most incompetent, lazy, and unmotivated I ever saw
I went to school with a guy who was a complete degenerate and became a pharmacist because he was a drug addict. He later worked for the department of corrections after getting busted “mismanaging” the morphine.
True. Also some use the title "doctor", but they are merely nurse practioners, which is a notch above a RN. They prescribe medication like a doctor, as they are under the supervision of a doctor. The doctor visits to sign off on their dirty deeds once a month or longer.
Same with the VA
I don’t know about this jail but I definitely know this can’t be a blanket statement. I worked for 14 years in a county jail as a correctional nurse and I did that by choice. I’ve worked as a nurse in numerous medical environments and I absolutely loved corrections and I worked with alot of great nurses. You have to have a heart for it for sure.
It is so touching that the inmates cared enough about this guy to send that signed letter, it also shows they're in fear of their lives.
Unpopular opinion, now they know how their victims felt.
@Thin Mintz the same reason you replied
Don't be a criminal if you don't want to die in jail.
@Thin Mintz how many drugs have they fed to people and ruined lives. Many now they have a taste of their own medicine.
@@meltedmarshdaddy hey, news flash. Jail is mainly for suspects awaiting trial. Therefore, they are not criminals, they are suspects. Criminals are in prison. The guy that the story featured was never had a trial, so never was a criminal.
Why do we pay all this money in tax dollars to provide the necessary care, but then just let them die in jail for being suspected of a crime? Your callous attitude, the same attitude COs have, is why inmates die in state custody.
When inmates write a letter like that to a deceased one's family and attach their signatures as proof that they are witnesses ready to testify, you should know that they witnessed something happening that deeply saddened their hearts and sickened their souls. I hope mom gets justice.
If that ain’t the Gods honest truth. Smh. They don’t just volunteer to write statements and sign signatures. My brother sued SCDC AND WON for medical neglect!
I agree. Having been incarcerated myself, I know how tough it is to organize three prisnors to write grievances that would improve their own lives. This was obviously manslaughter of the first degree. And, though it would be impossible to prove, I believe this was a hate crime as well.
@@keluvnme right .... It had to be bad
@@darrene.vonbraun4421 right on. I did 3 years, and inmates aren't trying to get involved with anything, let alone sign their names!! Big time eye opener. Deputies are criminals too...
They need to go outside of the facility and get counsel and sound the alarm and when autopsies are done like with this young man make them accountable for his death. I worked in DOC in NYC and i can tell you most staff and most of the medical staff don't give a f about an inmate's life. But they will do everything in their power to cover it up.
All jails operate this way. When you're in jail all bets are off, jail guards are some very lazy, careless and petty mean people.
Facts
The justice system should be torn down.
@@dehartfamily3091 yes
I have to agree...ok county and caddo county arent any better...
Can you blame them, it's not A-day spa... It's a zoo built to hold the worst of society
I was in jail once. I had severe tooth pain but they only removed teeth as the only treatment for everything. The didn't give me my prescribed medications I had on the outside (prostate medication, not a pain killer). And the only thing they'd give the diabetics was apples. One guy was coughing up blood and all they gave him was a cap full of dayquil. You go to jail with a medical condition and you're fucked.
@@VENENOSEASON Bootlicker.
@@VENENOSEASON You must be oh so very proud of yourself ...... You......who is without sin.
@@VENENOSEASON Aggravated battery with weapon. 2nd degree felony. 4 months in jail, 5 years probation. 30K in restitution (surgery) and court fees. Adjudication withheld. Drunk driver that killed my 26 yo wife on our son's 6th birthday bonded out b4 pre-trial. I found him and did my own justice. He still got 5 years. I did my time very easily mate.
@@ThereBeGoldInThemTharHills sorry for your loss,the only thing you did differently than I, is I dont think I could have stopped myself from putting him 6 feet under
@@frankorobinson1540 thank you. This was 7 years ago. Attorney said I should skip pretrials and do something called a speedy trial. Said no jury would convict me. But! I was looking at a max of 15 years if I was convicted. Catch was it would be another 4 or 8 months waiting for the trial. Boss said I still had my job and my wife's parents had my son. I thought about sticking it out in jail for a year. My bail was 120K which was even higher than the drunk driver's. I had to choose between an attorney or bail. Ended up pleading guilty for the probation. And the injunction meant I couldn't appear at my wife's killer's sentencing. But my victim impact statement was allowed. Read by my father in law, said he couldn't get through it without crying so the judge read it.
I'm sorry Sherif, but as a nurse I see a problem when people have a health issue that is ignored. The kid with the ulcer should not have died if he had the right treatment.
He should not be committing crimes. Stay home and take care of your own health issues. If you don't care why should anybody else?
@@tgiii2432 I feel what you saying but we don’t know why he’s in there and regardless of why he’s there dose t mean he don’t deserve to get the proper health treatment
They don't care if the inmates die. There is no empathy at all for them. They think the inmates are beneath them. It's really sad and tragic!
What is really sad cuz all of the victims they have hurt.
Cry Me a River.
They are just a number.
They want respect in the jail when they commit heinous crime in society?
Not to mention all the crimes that they commit in jail.
Two of the deaths were related to drug overdose that were smuggled in. Their own fault.
Imagine these offenders are violent assault criminals ranging from aggravated assault, armed robbery, murder, rape and crimes against children.
Their own despicable actions are disturbing and led them to jail and if they die there, then they die there. Hard to feel any empathy for these punk thugs. Let them rot.
I care more about the victims and the innocent lives that they have ruined.
Soo true!! I just said the samething under another comment. About a year ago, I went to jail for being drunk in public and that's what I got charged for it was nothing major at all, but this one officer kept trying to fight me and for what reason, I have no clue. I even had to tell him that I am not here for murder, I am here for being drunk in public, he treated me so bad man. America needs a lot of change. We really aren't the freeist country, Canada actually tops us
@@organiclife4042 you do understand that you don't have to commit a crime to go to jail, right? You do understand that the majority of people in jail are there for victimless crimes, right? You do understand that not everyone in jail has committed heinous crimes right? You do understand that you're part of the problem, right? Go read the book Three Felonies a Day and just wait until its your turn to go to jail.
@@TheChopf26 @iamthe partyone
And YOU do realize the wrong things people do don't ALWAYS "directly" offend. It can "indirectly" offend and affect MANY different peoples' families emotionally, mentally and psychologically.
Even those who are convicted of drug offenses hurt their own families significantly. No ONE is victimless.
Yes, many who commit crimes aren't in jail. That's true but I disagree that the majority of people these days who are in jail are there for victimless crimes.
Especially these days.
In 2015, Nearly half (55%) of people incarcerated in state prisons were convicted of violent crimes.
In 2022, it's even MORE.
Yes, it's true there have been innocent people who have been convicted.
But I am NOT part of the problem as you say but rather it's people like YOU who defend those who do NOT want to take responsibility for their actions.
Entitlement runs rampant these days.
@@organiclife4042 You are definitely a part of the problem and are a disgusting authoritarian. Article 1, Paragraph 17 of the Georgia State Constitution says: "nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted." Denying someone medical treatment so that they die is definitely cruel and unusual punishment. The Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution says effectively the same. Particularly, it says: "Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
One thing is for sure, they can't fix a problem the sheriff won't acknowledge existing.
I dont think he knows HOW to fix it...the bastards in upper command are the same ppl that screwed it up...just like the feds!
They can get the Feds involved since it's now getting media attention. The inmates must make some noise and demand an investigation.
HIS "EXPLANATION" WAS GROSSLY INADEQUATE INSIGNIFICANT!!! COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE. MAY DIVINE JUSTICE BE SERVED!!!
He is complicit in the corruption
there is no pain, short of losing a spouse, which even begins to hurt as much as the loss of a child at ANY age
I like french fries 🍟
@@SteveinSanFrancisco karma is a real bitch
Know what ur saying nothing like having a pos criminal for a son
They are not doing their jobs or watching those inmates.
so they need to be watched after like a nursing home or something
This is how I loss my brother in the Dekalb jail, they ignored his cry for help with his health issues. The sad part is there weren’t a lot of attorneys that will take these cases, just sad!
I personally think they should cross train EMTs and officers so that 20-50% of any team has emergency med on site. Waiting for an Rambo crew is terrible and often the med CONTRACTED staff cant hardly get a job anywhere else.
I am so sorry for your loss.Lawyers are part of the problem.
Should have kept his trifling butt out of jail.. 🤷♂️
@@lebumbaclartjames3750 Man you petty as hell, could’ve been anything minor on why he was in there. Not everyone that goes to jail are hardcore criminals and deserve neglect from people who are still suppose to do their damn jobs regardless. They have responsibilities to attend to also.
@@lebumbaclartjames3750 how you know he was trifling the fact that you said this is nothing but pure ignorance
I was in the cell next to Strahan. My celly and I were up, awake, talking to the deputy when it happened 😩They didn’t care about him. The nurses laughed. I wish I could talk to Fox 5 or his mother.
So sad
Liar
You got the platform bro...you can be the change bro
Use your platform bruh and we can follow up with this behind you pushing it
Man call the feds U.S. ATTORNEY GENERAL.
I'm assuring you they will investigate.
Thats their job ,to put corrupt officers in jail.
I have seen them in action 🎬 They don't play.
Did he just say they don't have a problem.what would u call it.smh
I-Team: “Why are so many inmates dying in the Gwinnett County Jail?”
Everyone with a brain: “Because it’s run by Gwinnett County Jail staff.”
Here in Louisville KY. As well
And owned by the judges in Gwinnett
“For those of us who think we have a problem….uhh no.” Wise words from the man in charge of it all.
It's sick!
They don't care. Lots of jail house workers look at everybody as they would the same as a sexual assault on children prisoner
Sad commentary to this dysfunctional society. Folks you are on your own......the government has given up! Crime has overwhelmed law enforcement. Police are now very wary of responding to street crime knowing they could be falsely accused of overreacting. We live in a violent, lawless society that will only get worse! We have failed as a nation and liberalism is the root cause.
I’m surprised Anderson did this interview she was one of the main officers that abused her power she almost drove a teen to suicide by playing psychological games and keeping her locked in her cell all day . That’s an evil woman I will never forget her
Girl get a life my mom is not the devil if she was a devil she will never adopted for girls moved us to Georgia and then she got a job there sweetheart please she just not dumb and she's not stupid so please do not put my mom's name out there like that thank you and have a blessed day and thank you for your opinion
At the end of the day my mom is from Chicago you can say whatever you want to say but now that they got the new whoever's in charge over there is no more day and if you look at it since you want to put my mom's name and trust me there's no end of my face and your mouth she only treat people how they deserve to be treated or how they act or how they treat their stuff she never plays about job are those deaths and incidents that happened when she left so please do not play on her name like that cuz she's very loved and respected because she don't back down you might not like how she come at you or how she do it but it is what it is stopped going in there we got to grow up and sometimes and I'm so sorry for the family that these people are losing rather in there but sometimes the ones that keep coming back to keep coming back you're only writing your own story is not the officers fault all the time
you were better off just not replying . 🙃
This Sheriff is either lying, incompetent, or both. My money is on both.
He's a politician.
Politicians are the worlds major problem.

It’s full of demons
It’s the prisoners !!
@@baeluuk23 yes it is ! Not sure why these people feel so bad for these criminals . It leaves space to lock up more criminals and keep us safe !!!
Ever think, DONT BE A THUG?
You wouldn't be in jail.
Wow what a pos what if u did jack and a scumbag cop makes up something up then die because of someone not doing their job back the blue till it happens to you
Not everyone who ends up in jail is a thug. Doesn’t really matter either way since it does not make it OK to deny people medical treatment and allow people to die.
My brother passed in a jail here in Northern Va. outside of D.C.. Everything was kept hush, we hired lawyers, top notch lawyers, who couldn’t get around the roadblocks the county set up preventing us from finding out the real answers.
The police don't care about I vestigating wrongful death if they are NOT suspects, I know. My heart goes out. Know that he knew he was loved, whatever happened. Idk, if you are religious. But I am not. And I've lost more loved ones than anybody my age has any business losing. When you are atheist, the reality and weight of the loss was overwhelming sometimes. Knowing that that was it. There's no meeting up again later. That beautiful personality and voice and warmth and compadre is gone permanently. It breaks my heart every day. It can help to talk to someone who knows exactly what that's like and can offer perspective and wisdom about these things. Google "Grief Beyond Belief" talking with somebody there just once can help A LOT with that life ruining grief. Especially as an atheist. They don't five you stupid platitudes like "he's in a better place" or whatever other emotionally distancing crap. Anyways, stay strong.
Virginia jails, cops & court system some dirty MF's I'm from Washington DC but I use to live in Alexander VA & Fairfax
He doesn't think they have a death problem
Is the problem!!!!!!!!!
A token EINKI SINKI Sheriff is just another BOZO THE CLOWN.
There are people in GA dying on the streets, the problem is not only within the Jail system.

We not talking about that different topic
Lil buddy! Good eye tho!

Basic parenting can prevent your child going to jail in the first place. Don't always blame the cops or prison for your own failure.
Amen to that 🙏
This country was built on crime.
You’re fcuked up
Prisons shouldn’t neglect medical needs period.
First off...this is a jail. Not everyone in there has been found GUILTY. Blaming parents? Once that was ok...but now? They turn 11 or 12 and wham!!! Computers and schools ..friends and adult teachers that are avowed MARXISTS...drug dealers and early exposure to sex and violence. We can protect them up to a point...some kids just run off the rails.
This is a full on assault to destroy childhood and FAMILIES. But...jails arent there to fix anything...their JOB is to securely and safely and fairly protect the inmate for Trial...dont forget...not everyone is actually guilty...innocent until proven guilty right?
They investigate themselves, that in itself seems like corruption.
Who investigates then then?
Excellent news reporting my heart goes out to that mother
Some of the comments here are insane making a mistake shouldn’t equal you paying for it with your life everyone saying they shouldnt have committed a crime is heartless we have no idea what he was in there for lots of people go to jail for little things like drug possession or even child support these are peoples family members and it could happen to anyone
Welcome
Yo disgusting amurikka what else is new
Dude I went to jail for being in drunk in public, well I was actually going pick up my girlfriend from work and was waiting inside for her and somebody called the police because I smelt like alcohol. When I got to the jail, some young officer my age stood in my face and said back up and I wasn't even doing anything, he was looking to fight me and tried to several times. I even had tell him I am not in their for murder I am there for being under the influence in a public place.
This is exactly how the jail house workers feel about everyone in jail!! They are above the law
That's a run on sentence to the max!
Gwinnett County sheriffs involved in those incidents really need to face consequences. Unacceptable!!!
I'm sorry but every single jail and prison need to be completely investigated about every single death in these jails. When any inmate dies they need to have a full investigation and pull every camera, let every guard or deputy on duty be put on leave until the investigation is over so they can't have " disappearance of evidence". They should have all the medical records as if he died of a ruptured ulcer which could have been operated on had the mother, inmate, anyone told he had issues with ulcers. Not saying this would have helped to save his life but could have given the information to medical staff to give him proper medicine.
He should have been more interested in his health issues and taken care of them when he was a free man. All of a sudden everyone is concerned. You should go find sick people in the streets and help them if your so concerned you hypocrite.
They simply don't care. When u in there is another world. It's 🤑 pure money to hold these folks. Less seen or feed then they make more money
@@tgiii2432 M O R O N.
They covered up his death ... Need to close that JAIL down ... Those pigs in there is killing inmates...
Another lady that lives on state street in North Pekin or rather yet two or three of them that live on Patton or State Street say how they knew what Elizabeth Crider-Olcott and Eric Sean Vicary where doing and how Donna that worked with Sheriff Mike McCoy
I was tossed in for a crazy ex wife that made an accusation of DV. She was banging her married attorney. Anyway-Inside they don’t care and all inmates are considered scum. Loved they had videos playing about if you get raped by a guard you have rights. Comforting to watch knowing it must happen enough to have the video running on a loop.
I was in Gwinnett county Jail last month and A woman in imax died. They called her trippany. They drop her body coming down the stairs from Imax. The officers on duty are suppose to do checks on us every 1hour. They hadn't checked on the women in imax in 4hours. That's when they found trippany. Mind you the officer that was on duty that night was back In a few days. Also when I was there an older lady had a stroke. They did nothing about it. A lady also had a miscarriage and they just gave her pads. This jail is beyond fucked. Somebody needs to shut it down.
Solution: Be a good person/citizen stop committing crimes.
Yo Donkey! In jail...they havent all been found guilty yet...some are false arrest...others they find the evidence isnt there...you cant paint everyone with that wide brush.
Tip...ACTUALLY TRY READING THE BILL OF RIGHTS! HeeHaaww!!
They aren't tending to the inmates health correctly over there. And I feel so sorry for the other men as well that has died. How can you enforce the law but allow human beings to die under your own nose? This is just bananas to me! Do something! Put a stop to this! My neice and nephew lost their father behind bars in the Rice Street Jail located in Fulton County Ga. They treat people in these jails as if they are not human and don't have family! Well they do! They are still somebody! Hello? 👀👍🏾💯🕯️💐😔🙏🏾🥺💔
do the crime do the time. its
@@gallardo360 That's understandable but how about tend to the sick, help get them well and then let them do their time if need be? And if you've never been in jail you really don't understand. They put you inside of a cell and there's a call box that you call the tower through in order to ask for common things such as soap or sanitary napkins. As a cancer survivor I know that I'll never go back to jail again for anything! They will let you die!!!!!
It's hard because they pretend to be sick all the time, to get out, talk to nurses, get meds to sell or get high, so you have to ignore them for a but or they do it all day long, just the way it is, best way to get seen is act unresponsive then they have to see to you.
Sad thing us it works as mist if them give up play acting sick after a day
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time 😏
@Matt Wroe true... it probably is hard to know who's telling truth in a room full of liars 😕
What about all the other deaths that wasn't mentioned. I know someone who was in there and they said it was a HORRIBLE place to be. And they was always on 24 hour lock down because of someone else dying. This has been within the last 6 months. This is so sad!!!
That's exacty what I'm saying!! There's more deaths. A woman died in imax in January. And I can't find nothing on it!! I was in there myself so it's crazy all the things that are going on and there's no proof of it unless you were there!
that chief needs to be fired. He blatantly denied the fact that there clearly is a effin problem at your jail sir!!!
If they followed the law they wouldn't be in that situation to begin with.
Dude stop trying to act tough! Lolololmao, we know the real you, you're not hard and we both know that!! Look I went to jail for smelling like alcohol, going to pick up my girlfriend from work, but I was inside waiting for her and some called the cops on me because I smelled, but I did get a misdemeanor, which is a small infraction. There was a younger police officer my age who got in my face in the holding cell and told me to back up right now and I wasn't doing anything to this dude, he tried fighting me a few more times and I had to tell them I am here for being intoxicated in public and after that I never seen him again. When I said that, it was a reality check for him
@@ThePeacePlant there is no "acting tough". It's just simple common knowledge: don't break the law or act suspicious & you stay out of jail.
in jail your life is in others hands that's the cost of freedom lost
The jails are always suspicious of people who complain of medical issues or pain. Always thinking someone is plotting something or trying to go to the hospital for no reason or they blame it on drug seeking. The culture around those beliefs need to change. I'm sure there are people who may fit into those categories, but most likely do not. Dying from an ulcer is a horrific death that a petty criminal doesn't deserve.
💯 It's so sad. I couldn't ignore anyone seeking medical attention even if you're just trying to get over on me I take cries for help seriously!!!
Jails across the the u.s have no staff...gen z and gen y are not doing these ass stressful jobs anymore...in many jails one guard is monitoring over 100 inmates alone for 15.50 an hr..just not worth it....
Yeah, I would NEVER be a a prison guard
His death was definitely an unavoidable tragedy. They neglected to give him medical care
I think you mean "avoidable". I am usually not a grammar police but I think the incorrect usage of the word "unavoidable" in your comment should be corrected. They definitely could have avoided his death by giving him proper medical attention. Giving him pain meds without knowing his condition probably exacerbated his condition.
Just a quick edit will fix this comment
Add 1 my cousin died as a result of lack of medical care from staff at a Gerogia facility. I hopes this mother gets justice for her son
Also...my heart goes out to everyone that's lost someone. This us global failure...the ppl ...the counties... n a few bad apples.
Medical is the worst! We fought non stop to get ppl seen. Esp for dental. It was difficult...the good officers were written up...gaslighted and tormented if they pushed too hard. I saw inmates pull their own teeth!!! Bc they just wouldn't see them. One inmate...he gave all of his stuff away... so I tried to get the social worker. I slipped countless notes under his door...the inmate committed suicide. I'm haunted by these things...and of you have a loved one die? Get an independent AUTOPSY! The COUNTY med examiner works for a paycheck from the same ppl the jail does. Just saying...
Liberal week ass statement. We have the best/easiest prisons in the world. If they don't like it, stop going to prison!
@@tgiii2432 again. I'll use easy words. This story isnt about prison. It's about jail. We are innocent until proven guilty. If you dont understand...I cant make it any easier for you.
Now their families feel what their victims families felt.
You realize not everyone who ends up in jail is a violent criminal and not everyone in jail has a victim right?
They need to do a full thorough investigation on that Gwinnett county jail system, because the staff over their is playing it SUPER DIRTY! They need to get Internal Affairs to get some of their staff to give up some information on how they are treating those inmates, & lock some of their a$$es up!
IA does not care they are part of the JUST-us system
Damn that suffering is real..same as Cobb
Dude in denial
I have a close family member who is currently in Gwinnett county jail, over a traffic ticket.. the court system is falling behind there. People who usually get locked up for minor crimes or for traffic , usually go through the court process and either get a bond or a sentence within a week, maximum 2. Now since covid, they are “short” staffed, court dates are pushed back or delayed for thousands of people. The inmates there are on 20+ hrs lock down because there isnt enough staff to let them out.. sometimes not at all. He hasnt formally been arranged for a sentence, and its been well over a year…. I honestly dont know what to do, because having someone you care about being put away like that for little next to nothing is detrimental to his family, business and mental state. It makes you feel like you cant trust police officers , CO staff OR the court system because you have no options other then to “wait” it out. How can you go against a system like the Court System? They’re the big dogs and we’re just fish fries…
A year?? For a traffic ticket?? You should seek lawyer advice because you may as well have a case here.
@@WhiteWolfos you’re absolutely correct! We’ve tried every lawyer that’ll fit my budget…. & to no avail.. But it does make sense since 12 have resigned due to the new sheriff & his new rules recently, && they’re also “trying” to fill those other 114 empty spots. Its such a mess
My brother has been there for almost a year he tells me there constantly on lockdowns and it’s terrible
There are a lot of people who aren't in jail that die from lack of medical care also. Stay out of jail, hold a job with benefits and these tragedies will lessen.
The difference is in jail they are responsible for your well being the entire time you are there in their custody. And people are dying not just from lack of medical care but from being DENIED medical care. That’s a huge difference, and a huge problem. It’s not like he was fine and just suddenly died unavoidably. He was continuously requesting medical help and was not receiving it.
Bless this mother's heart.🙏🏾🥺💔
If no one was fired and charged this report means nothing.
don't break the law and u will never have to worry about dying in jail. it is as simple as that.
That’s stupid. Innocent people end up in jail. You can go to jail for speeding or forgetting to pay a traffic ticket. Does that mean you should be denied medical treatment and allowed to die? Literally nobody should have to worry about being denied medical treatment.
Who wants to work for little to no money and be treated like poop. They need to raise the pay and do better training for CO's and make sure that the person is mentally stable to become a CO.. Its not for everyone.
Exactly! They lose the best ppl bc anyone that tries to help gets written up and gaslighted.
Jail and prison inmates are human beings, but the staff and state does not treat them as such. It's a lot of BS, and YES, there is a problem. It's beyond horrific and unnecessary. They are more concerned with the money they get per inmate.
Prisoners violate other people's rights so screw their "human" rights
@@kingtut1735 You do know it's a lot of innocent PEOPLE locked up right. Just shut up.
@@kingtut1735 yea! treat them like animals, that will teach them! Then the crime rates will go down! Oh wait. It doesn’t work that way. 🤦♂️
@@ThumperG Oh yeah your logic works perfectly in Los Angeles! Guess what criminals don't get locked up here that's why people get car jacked and robbed in broad day light on Melrose while eating lunch at busy restaurant. We just had a bunch happened a few days ago because time out corner works better! In many other countries where they don't play with crime they don't have problems like in the US! The supposedly #1 super power has the most crime out of any western civilized nation, we have the most uneducated but yet we are the best GTFOH America is a walking hypocrisy.
Awwww condolences to these families. Prisoners are people and they are loved.
lol
Ya get so much money n still give then that’s nasty food
So he clearly states ONE DEATH IS TOO MANY…. yet THERE ARE 8 dead inmates and he sees no problem.
This is why holding people accountable is important. We now dismiss it by WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES.
The sheriff's an absolute joke . He needs to be investigated.. I blamed the FBI for not doing their job. Period!!
They won't. Law inforcement workers have a code of silence, they will never tell on each other unless they are forced into the charges themselves
Jails pay less then most Walmart’s! In Kentucky jailers are peace officer and make 30k or less and have to deal all day with diseases and violence and are expected to make a 30 year retirement it’s impossible
Mmmm.mmmm.mmmmm..mmmm.mm.mmm how poetic! That feels SO good to hear. Thank you. You made my day.
Correction officers are the number one issue with violence in jails not prison jail. These guys gag bag and mace you so you breath in the the mace. These guys were worse than inmates take commissary from people and say it didn't come whenever trustees can bring you your inventory slip for store call means it was delivered. Seen these guys taze mace gag bag and double strap in a restraint chair. Man was older fellow he died that way. Just like a inmate in the hole with nothing not even jump suit ended up burning itself to death in a non smoking facility but found a cigarette had set him on fire some how ruled accident. Jails all over Georgia are corrupt.
There's a large volume of correction officers who treat inmates sub-humanly... That's why they get stabbed up sometimes too, people don't dislike police for no reason... At the end of the day we're all human, and deserve a minimum amount of respect initially and a lot of times you just go in labelled, doesn't even matter if you're innocent, that's what everyone says right?...
Prison guards and police are way different. Police are way nicer then guards.
@@billybob2329 😂🤣🤣 good 1!
Oh well. No more tax payer funded jails. Don't commit crimes and you'll get medical treatment on the streets.
Dear God . Don't let this go ! Do follow ups on this story .
Don't do the crime if you can't do the time... 🤷♂️
*You damn sure better not get locked up in Gwinnett, hopefully the entire staff is fired and charged with failure to render aid.*
Not the entire staff...
@@billybob2329 *With 7 or so inmates dying in that jail the entire staff had to have known something wasn't being done right in that jail so yes, the entire staff.*
it's not supposed to be fun in prison.
its not about fun, its supposed to be rehabilitation and if you think its okay to let people die in jail then you should be thrown in one
Jail not prison!!!!!!
Death Penalty for minor stuff
It's me!!! Go drink Shaquille O'Neal feet water!
😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
@@logandellow4041 It's good for my kids to hear that prison is no fun and you could die in there! I think it's a great deterrent! "Don't break the law and avoid the jails and prisons!" Thanks Mom and Dad!
Exactly if they want mental health open up insane asylums again we’ll see who has mental problems then.
@@logandellow4041 I don't give two shits or a Fiddlers fuc& about them .
My father was at Gwinnett jail also for a wrongful arrest. We tried to provide a lawyer to help us release him because he has health conditions. Although Gwinnett jail didn't want to give him the treatment he needed. He was at the peak of losing his life and when he was released, he was weak and lost vision. I had to hold him by the arm to escort him out the front door. That sheriff should be sued and that jail should be shut down due to people dying. Humans should help other humans no matter what the other person is going thru. If my father stayed any longer in that jail, they would be 9 victims. And still we had to pay a fine. . . Gwinnett police is not here to help people but they are good in going in community pockets.
So sorry for your loss of your son. Truly heartbreaking, I pray for justice for you
Criminals should be thrown in a deserted island far from everything.
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The staff doesn’t give a damn as long they are getting paid
That Sherrif didn't answer the question.
They dont give a damn about us whether we're in jail or not. Nothing will happen never does. The FBI should only investigate them cowardly mfs
Where was the father ? Why does the news only show the mother ! 🤔 Jail not the best place to get quality health care ! I my leg hurt does not get you a grade a med staff team and x ray ! No real med staff wants to work in a jail anyway !
I am so sorry for your loss. God bless you. 💜
Unacceptable! Just because they're criminals doesn't mean they don't deserve basic human rights.
Be mad at the county officials for not investing the money into the Healthcare staff/companies for these facilities. You get what you pay for.
Send them to the RUSSIA GULAGs...😂😂
Why would you ask an old lady that’s part of the system that wants to see prisoners attacked by gangs of police? she is just as evil as the rest of them
A jail full of murderers taking care of prisoners
I have a relative who just got out of Gwinnett, he said that the staff would neglect and let people die, and even laugh about it
0:38 damn they got my homie megamind
He had an undiagnosed medical condition with that size of a head. Probably internal swelling of the sort but that doesn't excuse his behavior cause how did he get in jail in the 1st place??? He most likely had the condition way before him being admitted.
Well said......
Don’t wanna die don’t come in a crime I get locked up
The best way to fix the problem is by not becoming a criminal....
Condolences to his family & friends! Mom,may u prevail with ur Civil Claim.
Bananas fo mamma
If you don’t want to back your people then why should they stay?
I should've waited LONGER to type . That officer Nina Anderson I can personally attest to her knowingly ignoring a inmates request for medical attention ..how do I know?? IT WAS ME!!!
I yelled at my tablet screen when she popped up.
I was in this jail caught felonies in this county Gwinnett no joke they will smoke your boats I talk about this jail on my channel 💯 glad to be out doing better with my life 💯 stay outta jail people especially Gwinnett County GA 💯
Many are there because they despise any one caring and will make them their next victim , they look at caring as a sign of weakness like an animal !!
1000% facts.
I love how they showed his high scool graduation photo and then quickly whisper he was in jail to answer for "aggravated assault and weapons charges", so he was a choir boy, a boy scout and helped old ladies carry their groceries home.
I know huh!
He was still a human being, you doorknob.
Honestly...hexwas never ADJUDICATED as guilty.
This is a real problem...we have RIGHTS. His right to a speedy trial...fair bail... none of those things are evidence...he was INNOCENT until proven guilty. Are you really siding with the jail? Bc simple 10 second blood work would have identified his condition. Not having $$$ is what he was guilty of!
“One is to many deaths” but to say 9 died “we have no problem”
Right? I was like WTF kinda contradictory BS is that. Ain’t nothing gonna get better there when the sheriff refuses to admit there’s even a problem.
They are killing inmates in jail those correction officers need to be investigated
Respect for the inmates !
@Confederate Hero did you get pzfier jab?
@Confederate Hero you mad aren't you lol
@Confederate Hero I don’t have any respect for those criminal guards and jail staff either.
“She’s waiting to read the GBI report” in other words, Yes of course she is suing as well as family members of the other deceased inmates... maybe not of the drug overdoses but the rest will try to get that check. It’s obvious.
How do you think the drugs get INTO the jail??? I know how and most of the time its NOT the inmates!
Isn’t this the same jail that has the severely mentally delayed man who was there for charges the victim (his brother) did not want to even press (theft of a camera), but he ended up dying from medical negligence?
Sad and everyone especially blacks better open their eyes because we are also locked up on false charges so much that this could be your child. This is sad. They lock you up they are responsible for paying for 24 hour doctor and nurse on staff no if and or buts. It should be law 3 doctors 1 for every shift.
Different jail but when I was in a new guy came in and we started talking n dude was in hardcore pain n kept throwing up. He said it was due to some stomach problem he has and without his medication its extremely bad. The next day he hung himself due to the CO's not giving him his meds and he couldn't take it anymore. Nothing ever came of that. When I got out I tried to let others know what happened but it was just seen as another suicide by a mentally I'll person. He was 23
😔😔😔😔😖😭😭 All of these stories hurt my heart. God bless your friends family and this young man's mom in the video 💙💗💞
🤔 There is a problem Sheriff 👍
They quit because they didn’t want to do the right thing
Who cares? Just as long as the taxpayer isn't sued for the death of a worthless Criminal
What happened to mom’s son was clearly nothing less than a crime!!
And the murderers will get away with it. Police in America are above the law and get away with everything if it isn't posted on the news. The news has a big chance to really start calling out the injustice and even better if it ends up on CNN
