Jayshawn Boyd beating video has gotten the attention and massive response on Twitter. Most of the retweet suggests that he went in for minor charges and came out half-dead in a coma.
Jayshawn Boyd was 22 years old who was standing in a common area of the Essex County Correctional Facility.
Seven inmates brutally slammed him in New Jersey on September 23, which led him to brain concussion and coma.
The video went viral when inmates hit him with an industrial broom and even a microwave as he lay unconscious.
