Fort Lauderdale, October 16 (RHC)-- 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.”

One prison guard stated: “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.

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.
