A Minnesota man died in agony inside a jail after days of crawling on the floor begging staff for help, his family have claimed.
Lucas Bellamy, 41, died from a perforated bowel behind bars on July 21, 2022.
Shocking footage from inside Hennepin County jail shows Bellamy on his hands and knees on the concrete, as staff look on. At one point he struggles to pull himself up onto a chair. A guard leans against the wall, looking on, as Bellamy writhes in pain.
On Tuesday, his parents and sister held a press conference to demand justice for Lucas and to call for reform in the way inmates are treated.
They said Lucas was treated like 'he was subhuman, like he was an animal.'
