NYC jail captain indicted after she allegedly ignored inmate who hanged himself in cell

A New York City jail supervisor was charged Monday with criminally negligent homicide in the death of a detainee who hanged himself on her watch last in November. 

Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus Vance Jr. said jail captain Rebecca Hillman showed "callous disregard" for Ryan Wilson by ordering officers not to perform potentially lifesaving measures and leaving him hanging in a locked cell for about 15 minutes. Hillman pleaded not guilty at an arraignment Monday. She is also charged with lying in her written account of the death that she acted "immediately" to help Wilson. The charges were not eligible for monetary bail, prosecutors said. Her next court date is July 28.
