Isaiah Joe Trammell (8 April 2003 – 16 March 2023 (aged 19) was an American man with autism, Tourette’s, and ADHD. A native of Lebanon, Ohio, Trammell was arrested in Montgomery County, Ohio. While in police custody, he self harmed himself by banging his head against the wall of his jail cell. Guards strapped him into a restraint chair and left him there for several hours.[1] By the time he was taken to the hospital, Trammell was unconscious, and he died three days later from self-inflicted brain damage.[2][3] His death raised questions about how people with autism are treated in jail.[3]
