An Alabama inmate who froze to death in jail was likely forced into a freezer as punishment, according to a new federal lawsuit.
Walker County Jail officials allegedly placed Anthony "Tony" Mitchell, 33, "in a restraint chair in the jail kitchen's walk-in freezer or similar frigid enforcement and left [him] there for hours," possibly "as punishment for deputies who had ‘had a time with Tony,’" according to the complaint.
He died on Jan. 26.
