哈特福德的一名法官表示大眾必須看到一段影片。該影片顯示了 J’Allen Jones 在 2018 年於監獄中死亡的經過。

J’Allen Jones was sick in his mind. On March 25, 2018, prison staff tried to move him. He did not want a search. The officers hit him and used pepper spray. He could not breathe for seven minutes, but the officers did not call for help quickly.

J’Allen Jones 當時患有精神疾病。2018 年 3 月 25 日，監獄人員嘗試移動他。他不希望接受搜身。警員對他施暴並使用了胡椒噴霧。他有七分鐘無法呼吸，但警員並未迅速地請求救援。

The prison said the officers did not do anything wrong. But a doctor said the struggle and pepper spray killed him. A review said the officers were too slow to help. Nine workers lost one day of pay.

監獄方面表示警員沒有任何違規行為。但一名醫生指出，掙扎與胡椒噴霧導致了他的死亡。一份審查報告稱警員救援過慢。九名員工被扣除一日薪資。

Lawyers for Jones wanted the video. They say the officers treated him badly because of his race and his mental health. Now, the prison is hiring a new doctor and training staff to help sick people better.

Jones 的律師要求取得該影片。他們表示警員因為其種族和精神健康狀況而虐待他。目前，監獄正在聘請新醫生並培訓員工，以更好地照顧患者。

A state judge in Hartford has ordered the public release of video footage showing the events that led to the death of J’Allen Jones at the Garner Correctional Institution in 2018.

哈特福德一名州法官已下令公開一段錄像，內容顯示 2018 年 J’Allen Jones 在 Garner 矯正機構死亡前發生的過程。

The incident happened on March 25, 2018, when staff tried to move Jones to a medical unit because he was experiencing a mental health crisis. The 52-minute video shows that after Jones refused a strip search, officers used physical force, including hitting him on the torso and legs, and using pepper spray and a 'spit bag.' Furthermore, the footage suggests there was a gap of about seven minutes between the moment Jones began having breathing problems and the request for medical help. CPR started 28 minutes into the video, but emergency services did not arrive until the 43rd minute.

該事件發生於 2018 年 3 月 25 日，當時工作人員試圖將 Jones 移至醫療單位，因為他當時正處於心理健康危機。這段 52 分鐘的錄像顯示，在 Jones 拒絕全身搜身後，警員使用了肢體暴力，包括擊打他的軀幹與腿部，並使用胡椒噴霧和「防唾液袋」。此外，錄像顯示在 Jones 開始出現呼吸問題到請求醫療協助之間，約有 7 分鐘的間隔。錄像進行到 28 分鐘時才開始進行心肺復甦術 (CPR)，但緊急救援服務直到第 43 分鐘才到達。

There have been different views on the event. The Department of Correction claimed that Jones was 'non-compliant and combative' and insisted that officers did not use excessive force. However, the medical examiner described the death as a homicide caused by a struggle involving chest compression and pepper spray. Despite this, a 2019 legal review concluded that no laws were broken. An internal review found that while the force used was not excessive, staff failed to notice the medical emergency quickly enough. Consequently, nine employees received one-day unpaid suspensions.

對於此事件有不同的看法。矯正局聲稱 Jones 「不配合且具攻擊性」，並堅持警員並未使用過量武力。然而，法醫將此次死亡描述為一宗因胸部受壓與胡椒噴霧導致的搏鬥而引起的謀殺。儘管如此，2019 年的法律審查結論為並無違法。內部審查發現，雖然所用武力並非過量，但工作人員未能夠快速地察覺到醫療緊急情況。因此，有 9 名員工被處以停職一日且不支薪。

Lawyers for the family, supported by the ACLU and the NAACP, argued that releasing the video was necessary for transparency. They emphasized that the officers' reactions may have been influenced by the man's race and mental health status. In response, Interim Commissioner Sharonda Carlos stated that the agency is making improvements. These changes include hiring a psychiatrist to lead medical services and providing more mental health training for staff.

在 ACLU 和 NAACP 的支持下，家屬律師主張公開錄像對於透明度至關重要。他們強調，警員的反應可能受到了該男子的種族與心理健康狀態的影響。對此，代理局長 Sharonda Carlos 表示該機構正在進行改善。這些變革包括聘請一名精神科醫生領導醫療服務，以及為工作人員提供更多心理健康培訓。

The court's decision to release the footage ends a years-long legal battle to make the details of J’Allen Jones's death public.

法院決定公開錄像，結束了多年來為了將 J’Allen Jones 死亡詳情公開而進行的法律鬥爭。

A Hartford state judge has mandated the public release of footage documenting the events leading to the death of J’Allen Jones at the Garner Correctional Institution in 2018.

一名哈特福德州法官已指令公開 2018 年 J’Allen Jones 在 Garner 矯正機構死亡前過程的錄像。

The incident occurred on March 25, 2018, while staff attempted to transport Jones, who was experiencing a schizophrenic episode, to a medical unit. The released 52-minute recording indicates that after Jones refused a strip search, officers utilized physical force, including strikes to the torso and legs, and the application of a 'spit bag' and pepper spray. The footage suggests a temporal gap of approximately seven minutes between the onset of Jones's respiratory distress and the request for medical evaluation. CPR commenced at the 28-minute mark, though emergency medical services did not arrive until the 43rd minute of the recording.

該事件發生於 2018 年 3 月 25 日，當時職員嘗試將正處於精神分裂發作期的 Jones 移送至醫療單元。公開的 52 分鐘錄影顯示，在 Jones 拒絕全身搜查後，警員採取了肢體暴力，包括擊打其軀幹與腿部，並使用了「防噴袋」與胡椒噴霧。片段顯示，從 Jones 出現呼吸困難到要求醫療評估之間，約有七分鐘的時間差。心肺復甦法（CPR）於錄影第 28 分鐘開始，但緊急醫療服務直到第 43 分鐘才到達。

Institutional and legal responses to the event have been divergent. The Department of Correction initially characterized the decedent as 'non-compliant and combative,' maintaining that no excessive force was utilized. While the medical examiner classified the death as a homicide resulting from a struggle involving chest compression and pepper spray exposure in a patient with cardiovascular disease, a 2019 prosecutorial review concluded that no criminal statutes were violated. An internal administrative review found that while excessive force was not employed, staff violated protocol by failing to recognize medical distress in a timely manner, resulting in one-day unpaid suspensions for nine employees.

機構與法律界對該事件的反應分歧。懲教署最初將死者形容為「不合作且具有攻擊性」，並堅持未使用過度武力。雖然法醫將死因歸類為因胸部受壓與接觸胡椒噴霧導致的搏鬥而引起的人為致死（homicide），且死者患有心血管疾病，但 2019 年的檢察官審查結論為未違反任何刑事法規。內部行政審查發現，雖然未使用過度武力，但職員未能及時識別醫療危險，違反了程序，導致九名員工被停職一日且不支薪。

Legal representatives for the decedent, supported by the ACLU of Connecticut and the NAACP, argued that the video's release was essential for transparency. They posited that the intersection of the decedent's race and mental health status may have influenced the officers' perception and management of the crisis. In response to these events, Interim Commissioner Sharonda Carlos stated that the agency is implementing systemic enhancements, including the appointment of a psychiatrist to lead inmate medical services and the expansion of mental health training for personnel.

死者的法律代表在康涅狄格州美國公民自由聯盟（ACLU）與全美有色人種協進會（NAACP）的支持下，認為公開片段對於透明度至關重要。他們認為死者的種族與精神健康狀態，可能影響了警員對危機的認知與處理方式。回應這些事件，臨時署長 Sharonda Carlos 表示，部門正實施系統性提升，包括委任一名精神科醫生領導囚犯醫療服務，以及擴展職員的精神健康培訓。

The judicial release of the footage concludes a multi-year legal effort to ensure transparency regarding the circumstances of J’Allen Jones's death.

司法授權公開片段，結束了多年來確保 J’Allen Jones 死亡經過透明度的法律努力。
