Obviously something was going on with the young brother, it's a very sad ending of his life. God Bless him soul.

    I pray that you all get Justice. I’m so sorry that this happened. My deepest condolences to you and your family. Fulton county jail has to many inmates inside one cell. This causes confrontations. It should be 2 ppl to one cell. Their floor plan needs to be changed around immediately. Not calling human beings animals but if you place animals together in one room. Anything can happen at any given time. Ppl have mood swings, controlling issues, selfish ways, bullying tactics etc. The way their set up is should be a violation against and unconstitutional. Inside prisons there are 2 inmates to a cell for a reason. Your family may can sue because of this.

    Fulton county jail is over crowded and Georgia needs to pass the Safe T Act in its State. Contact Warnock about addressing this.

    @@brandygray2384 for him to be found dead tied up like that. It had to be employees that did that. I wonder if the restraints used to tie him up came from the facility. Pictures would show that in evidence from the medical examiner. If those restraints came from the county jail. They’re in big time trouble with civil rights violations based on the 8th amendment. Btw I live in Georgia too. I also help to advocate in My hometown Chicago areas
