Layleen Polanco, a young transgender woman from New York City was found dead in a cell at Riker’s prison on June 7, 2019.
Now, a year later, security footage of that evening reveals prison guards waited an hour and a half following Polanco’s seizure to call emergency services.
The video, released by the Polanco family attorney, shows in frightening detail what little regard the Riker’s guards had for Polanco’s life.
