An Indiana man with a history of schizophrenia died in the summer of 2021 due to organ failure following nearly three weeks in solitary confinement at a Jackson County jail, according to a newly filed lawsuit.
The lawsuit accuses jailers of placing Joshua McLemore, 29, in a windowless, padded isolation cell, where he remained “confined, naked, alone, and in a constant state of psychosis for the next 20 days.
” According to the lawsuit, McLemore struggled with diagnosed schizophrenia and substance abuse and was in the midst of an “acute mental health crisis” when he was taken to the Jackson County Jail on July 20, 2021. Upon arriving at the jail, McLemore was taken to the padded isolation cell and remained there “almost continuously” until his death weeks later, the suit says.
