One of the saddest videos I have watched in awhile and is another reminder of a reality I have seen first hand (mentally ill mistreatment in correctional facilities). A lawsuit has been filed in the March 17, 2013 death of Christopher Lopez at the San Carlos Correctional Facility. Along with this lawsuit, attorney David Lane has released a horrific and heartbreaking compilation of footage from the hours leading to Lopez’ death. The lawsuit begins- On March 17, 2013, in full view of most of the Defendants, a shackled and stripped Christopher Lopez died alone and ignored, on the cold concrete floor of a cell at the San Carlos Correctional Facility. His death could have been easily prevented by most of the defendants had any one of them simply picked up a phone and called for medical help. Instead, the Defendants, all employees of the Colorado Department of Corrections, ultimately made what could pass as a documentary film on how to ignore the obvious and serious medical needs of a dying prisoner for hours until the very last breath of life leaves his body. youtu.be/LqdLDLiyiwQ
