Ahhhh! Jesse Vang doesn't like his new home. Maybe he needs someone to "teach him how to be a man." If he doesn't like county jail, he's going to love prison!

Jesse Vang, charged in the death of 3-year-old Elijah Vue, has filed a federal lawsuit against the Manitowoc County Jail, alleging unfair treatment and discrimination.
In the lawsuit, Vang claims he is being targeted and discriminated against based on his "race, color and or charges." He alleges that he is punished for infractions that other inmates commit without consequence.
The lawsuit states Vang was disciplined for having extra blankets, socks, and T-shirts, and for not wearing his proper jail uniform.
According to jail records included in the lawsuit, these items are considered contraband.

In more than 30 pages of documents attached to his handwritten complaint, Vang says deputies and jail staff have targeted him since last year, writing him up for what he calls minor rule violations like having extra clothing or not wearing his uniform exactly as required, and claiming that other inmates who do the same things aren’t punished.
In those same records, jail staff say Vang used profanity, disobeyed orders, and repeatedly waived disciplinary hearings.
Vang has filed multiple grievances throughout 2024 and 2025, detailing complaints of what he considers unequal treatment.

Vang said the staff's treatment of him is a violation of his 8th Amendment and 14th Amendment rights, which refer to cruel and unusual punishment and equal protection under the law.
Among the Manitowoc County Jail inmate reports, staff said in one instance they found that Vang concealed a nail inside a soap box, which is considered possession of contraband. Jail staff also mentions numerous occasions where Vang refused to wear his uniform. Staff also cited Vang's disrespectful behavior, where he used anti-gay slurs multiple times toward corrections officers.
Vang filed several grievances in 2025, which were denied.

Vang also said the jail should have an audio and video recording system or require staff to wear body cameras. Jail staff responded in the reports saying Vang has broken jail rules and his multiple grievances are unfounded.
