[n2doc]

TRENTON, N.J. (AP) — The family of the late reggae icon Peter Tosh is seeking answers after they say his son was left in a coma following an attack in a New Jersey jail.

Jawara McIntosh’s family say he has been hospitalized since suffering traumatic brain injuries in the attack in February at the Bergen County jail.

He was serving a six-month sentence after pleading guilty to marijuana possession.

Attorney Jasmine Rand said Thursday the family has filed notice that it plans to sue and also wants the U.S. Justice Department to investigate.

The fact that cops abuse prisoners in our jails and prisons in a way that is so similar to NK should be publicized more.

The comparison to Otto's case, which was so heavily publicized and mourned, should be made.

in your possession you can be found guilty, sentenced to death.
