Quick Glance: Prosecutors Defend Suicide Watch Decision for R. Kelly
  • Suicide watch inmates are frequently ordered to wear paper smocks rather than ordinary jumpsuits.

  • According to his lawyers, the "harsh" conditions of suicide watch have caused irreparable harm to Mr. Kelly.

  • According to a jail protocol revealed in a court document, inmates on suicide watch can be restricted and are constantly monitored by jail staff.

  • The detention facility officials knew Mr. Kelly "was not a suicide risk when they placed him under suicide watch subjecting him to cruel confinement," according to the lawsuit.
