You don't have to start out big if you want to see reforms at your local police agency. You could inquire to see what your local agency's policy is on timing of checks of holding cells housing inmates . Is there a video system in place to record the intake process and subsequent prisoner/ jailer interaction?
Wisconsin law requires 4 checks per hour on inmates being held. The Milwaukee Police Dept. has a video system in place in the booking rooms to record interactions with inmates.
These policies and the employees adherence to them saved this inmate his life and provided his questioning family evidence that his injury was self-inflicted.
The link below is a local news channel coverage of the incident including footage from the cell block.
(There is a commercial attached to the beginning of the video.)
