The family demands justice after Christian Black's death described the murder in the district prison of the murder

Dermantown, Ohio – the family of Christian Black, an inmate that died in Montgomery County prison in March, demands justice that his death was a murder caused by mechanical and positional asphyxia.

Black's sister Chiara Black expressed her outrage and said: “He deserved to be treated like a person, but in this cell, surrounded by people with a badge, he received no.

Family, friends and parishioners gathered in Germantown to protest against district commissioners.

They shared a video in which Black hit his body into his cell door before more than 10 prisoners kept him back.

After Black was accepted into a medical chair, he no longer reacted, and his family's lawyers claim that it took a few minutes for medical employees to have life -saving measures.

He later died in the hospital.

Benjamin Fisher II from the Montgomery County Jail Coalition criticized the excessive violence in which he explained: “We cannot have 10 men, 250 pounds per man or £ 2500 with the weight of a man.”

In response to the series of deaths in the occupants, the coalition calls for an increased supervision of the prison, an internal investigation at the state level for Black's death and a re -evaluation of the medical staff of the prison, which is currently provided by Naphcare.

In the short term, Black's family and the coalition demand the resignation of the sheriff Rob Streck from Montgomery County.

Fisher said: “It has to happen, something has to change, because if we cannot get the change we need, we will get the change we can. If Rob Streck goes down, we can pass to another administration that changes culture.”
