Billy Lee Coram, the inmate in the back of the patrol car, is wearing a hospital gown and choking himself with a seatbelt wrapped his neck as the car is moving in the roughly 12-minute video. After the car pulls over, Harris opens the door and punches and elbows Coram several times in the face as he unwinds the belt.
Harris later slams the car door against Coram’s head. Elliott said he didn’t know what injuries Coram sustained from the beating.
Coram had been taken to the hospital after he told jail staff he had ingested fentanyl and had escaped the hospital. Harris had caught Coram and put him in his patrol car.
American prisons are a horror show, I can confidently say I would rather die.
My mother after I quit tried to pressure me to go back repetitively. Or take a job at another facility. I told her to look me in the eye while I say this, I would rather kill myself than do that again. Only evil people can stay at a job like that.
