The family of Joshua Swann say his death was the result of neglect and abuse while inside the Clay County jail.
– Swann died March 6 which was 39 days after his arrest.
In January, Joshua Swann voluntarily checked himself into the Orange Park Medical Center Behavioral Health floor. For most of his adult life, he’s been on medication for schizophrenia. Instead of keeping him in the hospital and treating him, he was arrested, and the report says he should be placed on suicide watch at the jail.
Attorney Chris Wickersham said, “There’s lots of witnesses to all of these incidents. And then there’s an eyewitness to the killing. The big irony that I see that really just burns me is, you know, the inmates are far more ethical than the officers.” Wickersham went on to say, “And none of these people have anything to gain, and everything to lose.”
