Alabama Inmate’s Chilling Death Exposes Dark Realities of Alabama’s Prison System

Anthony Mitchell’s death paper says he died from being too cold and infections he got while in jail. The family’s lawyer Jon Goldfarb is saying Mitchell’s death happened because of abuse and neglect. Alabama’s prison system is already under criticism for another case where a man, Thomas Rutledge, died from being too hot in a prison cell in 2020. Nobody has been charged in Mitchell’s case yet, and this makes people worry about how the prison treats Alabama inmates. The hope is that there will be a careful look into what happened to avoid more bad situations in the future.
