WE WAIT FOR JUSTICE FOR MICHAEL ROWLAND

In April of 2022 Michael Rowland, a 63-year old long-time resident of Seattle who was experiencing a mental health crisis was booked just minutes before the King County Jail guards violently attacked him and left him on the floor to die.

This killing of a Black man was only the most recent death in a jail that has become one of the deadliest facilities in the country.

It wasn’t until December 2022 that the truth emerged, with two Seattle Times reporters uncovering the facts about Michael Rowland’s killing at the hands of King county Jail guards.

Mr. Rowland’s homicide is only the most recent death in a jail that has become one of the deadliest facilities in the country. This death is the last straw - it’s time to shut down the King County Jail.
