A 24-year-old man, Shawndre Delmore, was found unconscious in his cell on August 31.

After jail personnel unsuccessfully attempted «lifesaving measures», the inmate was transferred to Grady Memorial Hospital.

Tragically Delmore was pronounced dead at the hospital.

Authorities reported that the 24-year-old had been arrested last April for second-degree robbery.

He was also charged with willful obstruction of a law enforcement officer and was being held on $2,500 bail.

Since then, Shawndre Delmore’s has spent his days inside the Fulton County Jail in Georgia.

The jail became widely known nationally when former President Donald Trump turned himself in along with 18 other defendants.

They were all charged in a vast racketeering scheme related to the results of the 2020 presidential election in Georgia.

The US Department of Justice announced that it would launch a civil investigation into the county jail system.

This comes after a series of reports detailing abuses towards inmates, according to ABC News.

Among these reports, the case of LaShawn Thompson stands out — he died in September 2022.

His family claims it was due to inhumane conditions, including that he was «eaten alive by insects», according to an independent autopsy report.

The drama has worsened with the deaths of other inmates throughout this year, such as that of 34-year-old Samuel Lawrence.

He was found unconscious in his cell during dinner rounds, and was pronounced dead at Grady Memorial Hospital.

In another troubling incident, an inmate at a mental health unit was found dead with his wrists and ankles bound.

Unfortunately, some people have died while in custody because of their inability to post bail.

Alexander Hawkins, 66, is an example of this. He was pronounced dead last month after being found unconscious.

Local and federal authorities are researching these cases in search of answers and solutions, according to ABC News.
