  1. Correction system is very corrupt and this young man had no business with violent offenders.. him being so young is a recipe for disaster..

  2. Another case of black on white violence.

  3. acab: run the jewels had it right…

  4. Here are your findings. He got locked up in a backwards πŸ’© hole state

  5. The Bureau of Justice Statistics says almost 77% of the 1,200 people who died in local jails in 2019 were not convicted of a crime at the time of their death.

  6. Sue the prison and state out of millions

  7. I wonder what color the killers were hm

  8. This so sad the the prison dont care πŸ™πŸ™πŸ™

  9. Why are they lying to the family about his death. Terrible tragedy could have been prevented.

  10. Sounds like that warden is trying to cover up things he allows to take place I'd be very worried if I were you warden cause eventually someone will take the law into they're own hands and your gonna end up the victim

  11. Warden and all workers were involved and all need to be held accountable. Its not common!

  12. 😒😒😒

  13. I would be on the Governor of Alabama,because at the end of the day it's the States responsibility. Why was he tied up for days? Who was watching the cameras,because there's cameras in every jail and prison. Why has this family lost their son and why is child fatherless? I would be in front of the Governor with my child's ashes or dirt from their grave in my hands with grieving fury until I get real answers. The Warden and every one involved should be charged. To common really that's an issue that can be solved with the right people standing up and saying enough STOP THIS MADDNESS.

  14. This is so heartbreaking. Poor soul. Prisons, especially the ones in the south are inhumane. They had the same problem in Mississippi with Parchman Prison. They have had a LONG standing history in that prison. Men were killing themselves there. My God. Satan wasn't letting him get out of that hellhole. Thinking of his suffering is the hard part.

  15. Saddest story ever πŸ˜©πŸ˜©πŸ™πŸΌπŸ™πŸΌ

  16. The jail is shut down and all staff are in prison right? No ? America

  17. a couple brothers turned his b0ipucci inside out. Thats the harsh reality.

  18. Alabama is basically a third world country. Imagine what jail is like there.

  19. Omg look at this baby face how horrible he was to young

  20. That's prison. That's why you stay out of there. It's not a resort.
