These are the conditions of the Fulton County Jail, where Lashawn Thompson was found dead, covered in lice and feces. At the time of his death, over 90% of his unit was severly malnourished. EVERY person had lice or scabies.

He was 35 years old.

The Fulton County Sheriff's Office announced more than 600 inmates housed at the jail will be moved to other counties. It's unclear to which counties and who is being moved where.
