Special Management Unit: Prisoner suicide at ASPC Eyman

Not many people will think this fellow is a big loss, given his convictions. But his suicide is an indicator of a huge problem with the ADC: namely, that their prisoners are killing themselves at an astounding rate. I could be wrong - I'll check my stats later and correct myself if I am - but it seems as if ASPC-Eyman is especially bad...so much for the ADC's "special management" capabilities.

If I was a judge, I'd refuse to send anyone else to prison in this state until the DOJ investigates all these suicides.

    I use to be incarcerated in ADC 10 + year's suicide does happen from time to time but murder from gaurds and inmates are more likely to happen than suicide.
    ( Sex offender). 18 counts I would say justice is served. That's my opinion.
