Jamycheal Mitchell’s final hours – unchecked by guards – were detailed in footage released by the jail 

Mitchell, who was diagnosed with schizophrenia and bipolar disorder, died Aug. 19, 2015, of extreme weight loss and heart problems. He had lost 46 pounds during 101 days at the jail.

He was ordered by a judge to be transferred to a state mental hospital for treatment, but he never made it because his paperwork was stuffed in a desk drawer by an admissions worker at the hospital.
