Can you quote that sentence in the article that states why his family didn't bail him out?

Asked why he didn't bail his brother out, Rodney, through Heipt, said: "Price was homeless and in need of mental health help. I thought the jail would at least provide a roof over my brother's head where he would be fed and watched over and where he might get some psychiatric help and treatment. And the family was kept in the dark about what was happening inside the jail. No one would provide answers when I called. And the jail would not allow anyone to visit."

Releford said she tried several times to see Price in lockup, but she was never told that it would take only $100 to release him. "They could have told me...I would have given up $100 to get him out of there so he didn't pass away like he did."
