BAMBERG, S.C. (AP) - An inmate with mental health issues including schizophrenia has sued a former South Carolina county jail guard over allegedly using excessive force.
On Monday, attorneys for Tieresias Ephram said they had filed a civil lawsuit accusing Isaac Jackson of gross negligence, civil assault and battery and intentional infliction of emotional distress.
Attorneys say Ephram was being held in the Bamberg County jail on shoplifting charges in 2019 when Jackson threw him into a window and door to try to force him into a cell. Ephram‘s head split open, and his attorneys say he required emergency medical care.

Isaac Jackson said he tried contingency management a couple of years ago, and it helped him stay sober from meth for about a month. But, he said, it was hard to eventually stay away from the drug because he also struggles with depression.Jana Asenbrennerova / Special to The Chronicle 2019
As overdose deaths soar throughout California, proposed state legislation would legalize a program that encourages people to curb their methamphetamine use with incentives like gift cards and cash.
The approach, called contingency management, is a controversial but effective practice. Researchers have found it helps people control their substance use, particularly for methamphetamine. It’s yet another approach that San Francisco officials hope they can use to address the deadly drug epidemic that killed approximately two people a day in the city last year.
