A Northern California man died in jail after he fell unresponsive and languished virtually unattended in his cell for at least three days, the prisoner's loved ones said in a federal lawsuit. Maurice Monk, 45, was the victim of “utterly callous and indifferent” lack of action by law enforcement and medical staff at Santa Rita Jail, according to the family’s lawsuit, amended on Tuesday and citing more than 150 videos taken from Alameda County Sheriff's deputy body cameras.
Bail was set at $2,500, but Monk's family members said they couldn't afford it so he had to sit in custody. Monk was found dead in his cell on Nov. 15, 2021, but 'it is likely that Mr. Monk was dead well before this,' the lawsuit said. Jailers and medical staff visited Monk's cell several times a day on Nov. 12, 13 and 14 and each time he was face down in the bed, naked from the waist down and not responding to any verbal commands, the lawsuit said.
