The Minnesota Department of Corrections has penalized a county jail for depriving an inmate of food and water for more than two days as punishment after he smeared feces in his cell and refused to clean it up
A statement from the Otter Tail County Sheriff's Office about an incident of inmate maltreatment is seen next to an order from the Minnesota Department of Corrections, Wednesday, March 20, 2024, in St. Paul, Minn. The Department of Corrections penalized the Otter Tail County Jail in Fergus Falls, Minn., for depriving an inmate of food and water for more than two days as punishment after he smeared feces in his cell and refused to clean it up.
Not only did jail employees withhold six straight meals from the inmate, the report said, he told an inspector that he was forced to drink toilet water and his own urine because the water to his cell was shut off. Jail staff saw him “ingesting his own feces” on the second day, a Sunday, according to the report. Staff documented that they saw him licking the feces off his cell window, and that he said it was because he was hungry.
Otter Tail County Sheriff Barry Fitzgibbons said in a statement Wednesday that his staff will follow the state's orders. The inmate, whose name was not released, was transferred to a jail in a neighboring county. The reason he was being held was not detailed in the order, except “he had disciplinary time left to serve from a previous term of incarceration.”
