12:02Now PlayingIn the new weekly series with The Marshall Project, Yodit Tewolde examines the violence that occurs in jails and prisons, particularly in the case of Jaquaree Simmons, who died in a Houston, Texas jail in February.
“"During a severe winter storm and power outage, Jaquaree was stripped naked and brutally beaten by jail staff. The 23-year-old died the next day from blunt force trauma to the head and a brain bleed,” Tewolde says.
Larhonda Biggles, Simmons’ mother, and The Marshall Project staff writer Keri Blakinger join “Making the Case” to discuss the case.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
