“I am Michael Hess’s sister and my brother died there (Comanche County Detention Center). They didn’t even call 911 when they found him unresponsive. 3 hrs after the med doctor came around and my brother couldn’t even speak to answer questions. He was already drooling on himself and his roomie begged the staff to help him. They came back 3 hours later and they did not call 911. They handcuffed him. Put him in the police car and drove him to the hospital. Hospital staff said it was the saddest and most disgusting thing they had seen in a very long time. They told my uncle Ivan, who is a staff sergeant, that there is no way that any human should be subjected to that kind of treatment.”
