A man died in jail in a health crisis. Howard County settled with his family for $1.25M.

Over nearly two weeks, Richard Hall wasted away from a severe infection from an ulcer at a Howard County detention center under the eyes of staff. Court documents and video footage from the final hours of Hall’s life show that the 49-year-old, who had lost 15 pounds while at the detention center, was lying on the floor of his cell unresponsive.
