Died In Custody

A South Carolina woman convicted of stealing $20 worth of beer and candy bars from a convenience store was “deprived of water” and died in jail last summer due to profuse vomiting after checking into a hospital where she was then hauled off to jail over unpaid fines related to that 2011 arrest.
Joyce Curnell, 50, had been seeking urgent medical care for a stomach flu when it was discovered she had a bench warrant for her arrest because she had stopped making payments towards her $1,148.90 fine.

The detention officers used what is referred to as an Aikido restraint, which could be a number of restraints considering Aikido, like most martial arts, includes various techniques.
Initially, guards said that Gynnya McMillen died in her sleep because she was found in her cell at the Lincoln Village Juvenile Detention Center in Elizabethtown, KY on January 11th.
McMillen was sent to the detention center after a domestic disturbance that involved her at her mother’s home on January 10th. McMillen was charged with misdemeanor assault.
