The Death of a Bipolar Man in Milwaukee County Jail

Three jail employees were charged for Thomas's death, but Sheriff David Clark was never held responsible in any way. Fellow inmates told the Journal Sentinel newspaper that they could hear Thomas begging for water for days before he died. In 2017, the Milwaukee County paid a $6.7 million settlement to a woman who alleged she was raped by a guard in David Clark's prison multiple times while she was incarcerated there.
