Niglected

Niglected was painted in response to the death of Lashawn Thompson who was a 35 years old man who was in the custody of the Fulton County Jail in Georgia in 2023.

Lashawn was place in the jail psychiatric wing after officials judged him to be mentally ill. He died three months later of severe neglect by untreated schizophrenia, poor living conditions, poor grooming, extensive and severe body insect infestation, dehydration, and rapid weight loss.
