When Bonne Terre resident Robert Hopple entered the St. Francois County Detention Center in May 2018, he was placed in a small holding cell with about ten other men for roughly three days.
Hopple, 49, says the jail staff gave him a urine-soaked mat and a thin blanket to sleep on the floor while some men slept standing up.
When he was moved to the jail’s general population area, conditions didn’t improve.
