Another inmate has died at Mississippi's Parchman prison, the county coroner says. This latest death makes eight at the penitentiary this year.
Thomas LeeThomas Lee, 49, was found hanging in his cell Wednesday morning in Unit 29, where some of the most violent criminals are held, said Sunflower County Coroner Heather Burton and the Mississippi Department of Corrections .When guards found Lee in his single-person cell, they cut him down, began CPR immediately and notified medical staff, Burton said. The medical staff continued CPR for about 15 minutes, Burton said, but the inmate was pronounced dead at 10:47 a.m. , Burton said.
Two other inmates -- Timothy Hudspeth and James Talley -- were killed in altercations Monday and Tuesday. Their deaths are unrelated to a recent series of killings within the prison system, Burton and the DOC said. Parchman, where roughly 3,600 of Mississippi's 19,000 inmates are incarcerated, has been the target of intense criticism over its"failing infrastructure" and recent deaths.The deaths came the same week that new leadership was installed at the DOC.
