Naked, Covered in Feces, Jailers Laugh as Inmate Freezes To Death in 'The Freezer'On January 12, 2023, the family of Tony Mitchell called for a mental health welfare check on the 33-year-old.
He has sprayed his face and body with black spray paint and claims to have a "portal to hell." When deputies show up, Mitchel discharges a weapon.
Deputies are able to get Mitchell into custody, and even though he is obviously suffering a mental health crisis, Mitchell is taken to the Walker County Jail and placed in a holding cell with a cement floor, no running water, no bathroom facilities, no elevated place for a bed, no blankets, and a drain in the floor for when jailers have to hose it out.
Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss what happened to Tony Mitchell, a man who was left naked and covered in feces in a holding cell nicknamed the "Freezer" for two weeks.
