Jean Jimenez-Joseph was a talented drummer, carpenter, and one of the smartest men Proper frontman Erik Garlington ever met. Tragically, in May 2017, he became another victim of Ice’s dehumanizing war on undocumented people. Jimenez-Joseph died by suicide in Georgia’s Stewart Detention Center after repeatedly telling officials, and the Immigration and Customs Enforcement helpline, about his thoughts of self-harm. Despite his pleas for help, he was left in his solitary confinement cell. He was 27.
“The thing that really shook me was seeing the pictures of Jean’s cell,” Garlington says over the phone.
