## Resource

Tammy Shipley, a mother of six battling mental illness and cancer, sought police protection when she felt unsafe—only to be denied arrest, then trapped in a system that failed her. After shoplifting to force custody, she was jailed without proper psychiatric care, placed in a maximum-security unit ill-equipped for her needs. Despite hours of visible decline captured on CCTV, staff ignored her deteriorating state. She died from water intoxication, a tragic outcome of psychosis and neglect. Her family now demands answers: how did someone asking to be safe end up dying in custody? Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
