Inmates described horrific conditions: his cell was filthy with feces, he had no mattress or blankets, and begged for water — sometimes receiving it through a chip bag slipped under a food tray flap. One inmate saw him naked, covered in waste, with scratch marks on his body. He reportedly only received sandwiches thrown into his cell. Blair had been court-ordered to receive mental health treatment to restore competency but faced a nine-month backlog — meaning therapy wouldn’t have started until March 2027. The jail administrator has been fired, and the sheriff admitted systemic failures contributed to the crisis. An autopsy is pending to determine the cause of death.
