Death At Bridgewater

Joshua Messier died in a medium security prison, even though he had not been convicted of a crime. The 23-year-old had schizophrenia, and was prone to violence, so authorities sent him for psychiatric evaluation to Bridgewater State Hospital, which is more prison than medical facility.

In May 2009, following a violent episode, guards shackled Joshua's legs and hands, bent him over and pushed down hard on his back as they strapped him to a bed. Messier stopped breathing and died. A medical examiner initially ruled that Messier was a victim of homicide. But nearly five years later, no one has been prosecuted or even punished.
