Anthony Mitchell, 33, died on January 26, 2023, after two weeks in the Walker County Jail in Alabama following a January 12 welfare check when he was reported to be in a mental health crisis. Authorities allege he fired a weapon at deputies before being booked. At intake he was reportedly disoriented and unable to walk, yet was placed in a concrete holding cell and not given prompt medical care.

Over the following fortnight Mitchell was allegedly kept naked, often wet and soiled, without bedding while his condition worsened. On the day he was taken to hospital his internal temperature was recorded at 72 degrees; he was later pronounced dead. The coroner ruled the death a homicide, citing hypothermia and sepsis from infected injuries and medical neglect.

The case prompted criminal investigations and federal charges against multiple jail staff and medical personnel; several former employees have pleaded guilty to deprivation of civil rights. Does anyone have information about Mitchell’s condition while in custody or about staff conduct at the Walker County Jail during that period?
