Farad Polk was mistakenly locked up during visit with his imprisoned son.
The strange story of a man visiting his son in jail, only
to become a prisoner himself. A
door locked behind him trapping him
for more than a day. Now, he’s suing
the prison. ABC's Alex Perez has this story. // Reporter: This morning a
visitor who says he inadvertently became a prisoner inside this jail
for nearly 32 hours is speaking out.
// Farad Polk was visiting his son, an inmate
at the Cook County Jail in Chicago July 5th, when according to Polk,
guards told him to have a seat in a
waiting area down the hall. // When he entered the room, the heavy steel doors slammed behind him. //

Polk’s attorney: “He was
locked in an 8x8 room for over 30 hours and made to sit in that room without
any food, any water, no toiletries, no bedding.” // Reporter: For
nearly a day and a half he says he desperately
tried anything to get someone’s attention,
screaming, even pounding on the
room's two-feet-thick concrete walls, but no
luck. // He says it wasn't until he broke the head off one of the sprinklers flooding the room that the fire
department arrived and found him. // This morning, Polk is filing a lawsuit
against Cook County, alleging
negligence. Polk says the experience was so traumatizing he hasn't been able to visit his son.
