In Michigan, a graphic video has surfaced of a 32-year-old man slowing dying inside a Macomb County jail after he was jailed for inability to pay a driving ticket. David Stojcevski was sentenced to 30 days in jail last June after he was unable to pay a $772 fine. While imprisoned, Stojcevski went into extreme withdrawal caused by lack of his prescribed methadone treatment. He lost more than 50 pounds and was eventually transferred to a medical unit, where he was kept naked and under constant video surveillance. He stopped breathing on June 27, 2014, and was ultimately transferred to a local hospital, where he died. Local Detroit television station WDIV published the video Thursday.
