In more news from Florida, the Miami Herald has published shocking footage showing how 62-year-old Florida prisoner Craig Ridley was left to starve and die after prison guards broke his neck in 2017. Video taken by a prison official shortly after the catastrophic injury reveals guards ignored Ridley’s protests that “My neck is broken,” and “I’m paralyzed.”

Prison guard: “I assisted Sergeant Nettles and placed an inmate on the ground right here. At this time, the inmate is refusing to walk, to go to medical for his post-use-of-force physical and pre-confinement. We got a wheelchair on the way. … What you got? He may need your assistance, sir.” 

The guards repeatedly accused Ridley of faking his injury and hoisted his limp body into a wheelchair. Craig Ridley died on October 12, 2017 — five years ago this week — intubated and unable to communicate.
