On January 12, 2023, family of Tony Mitchell call for a mental health wellfare check on the 33-year-old. He has sprayed his face and body with black spray paint and claims to have a "portal to hell". When deputies show up, Mitchel discharges a weapon. Deputies are able to get Mitchell into custody and even though he is obviously suffering a mental health crisis, Mitchell is taken to the Walker County Jail and placed in a holding cell with a cement floor, no running water, no bathroom facilities, no elevated place for a bed, no blankets, and a drain in the floor when jailers have to hose it out. Joseph Scott Morgan and Dave Mack discuss what happened to Tony Mitchell, a man who was left naked and covered in feces, in a holding celling nicknamed the "Freezer" for two weeks.
