Newly surfaced video shows one of the disturbing final days of a mother of five before she died behind bars in a Washington state jail. According to a lawsuit her family filed against the facility, Damaris Rodriguez was suffering from a "mental health episode" in 2017 when they claim she was wrongly arrested. Nikki Battiste speaks to the woman's oldest son about why they are filing the suit.

Five days without food won’t kill you.

5 days without water will kill a person. She had a mental breakdown but was never evaluated by a mental health professional. More and more people have mental health issues and placed in jail. LEO are not mental health professionals but but mental health professionals are needed in the jail system.

She had a faucet in her cell on the video (assuming it was hooked up). Wierd.

It didn't say 5 days. It didn't say any amount of days, which actually proves your point even further.

Edit: Apparently her husband called 911 on 12/30 saying she needed mental help. Cops got there before an ambulance and they brought her to jail. She died 1/4.

quote:

SCORE personnel repeatedly observed and noted that she had mental health and physical problems but did nothing in four days to treat her, the suit says. Rodriguez was observed vomiting, stumbling in circles, grabbing her genitalia, spinning in circles, lying on her face, throwing food and displaying other erratic behavior, but she was never attended to, it says.


This doesn't look good at face value.

So the frick what!

We're in the United States...we don't fricking not feed prisoners for days at a time, nor do we not give medical attention to those who clearly need it.

How fricking low have our standards dropped in this country?

Yeah, people are pretty fricked nowadays. But on the same token, we're all conditioned that way for the most part. Straight division across all planes.

For many people they see prisoners as less than human. They forget that those people are still human and do deserve to be treated as human beings regardless of what landed them in jail.

They is what supposed to separate us from 3rd world countries.

What happened to this lady is a crime.

Maybe if they were a bit lower people wouldn't be so willing to go to prison.
