Nimali Henry Who Died in an Isolation Cell<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A federal grand jury today indicted four correctional officers from the St. Bernard Parish Prison in Chalmette, Louisiana<\/strong>, for violating the civil rights of inmate Nimali Henry<\/strong>, according to authorities.<\/span><\/p>\n

They deliberately ignored her serious medical needs that led to her death, officials said.<\/span><\/p>\n

The indictment<\/a> charges that Captain Andre Dominick, Corporal Timothy Williams, Deputy Debra Becnel and Deputy Lisa Vaccarella each knew that Henry had serious medical conditions and failed to provide her with necessary medical attention.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a result of the lack of medical attention, officials said Henry died in an isolation cell at 7:46 a.m. at the St. Bernard Parish Prison on April 1, 2014. \u00a0The indictment also charges each of the defendants with making a false statement to the FBI.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"St.<\/a>The civil rights charge carries a sentence of up to life in prison, and\u00a0each false statement charge can result in a sentence of up to five years in prison.<\/span><\/p>\n

The defenants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.<\/span><\/p>\n

The FBI investigated this case<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
