A Missouri father died in jail after he was arrested for failing to pay child support instalments that he couldn’t afford.
Ryan Everson, 42, was found unresponsive inside his cell at the Clay County Jail on 23 January after spending 10 days in custody, according to a report by The Kansas City Star. Everson was arrested for allegedly owing US$30,272 in back child support for his kids, ages 17, 19 and 20.
His family was told that he died as a result of suicide, but they claim jail officials did not provide medical treatment after Everson experienced seizures and was left alone in his cell. Everson’s death, the third in the last 21 months at the facility, is now under investigation.
Everson’s loved ones say that the criminal system put the father-of-three in an impossible situation as his bond was set at US$10,000, but he couldn’t even afford the US$50 child support instalments that a judge had ordered him to pay.
