Man Kills Himself in Florida Jail
An Albany man who was being jailed in Tallahassee, Florida, reportedly committed suicide in his jail cell. He was reported to be hanging from his bed sheet in his cell and discovered during a routine morning check.
The man was in jail for drug and driving under the influence (DUI charges). The jail may have some questions to answer. For example, when was the last time the prisoner was checked up on? Could the warden or deputies have foreseen something like this? If so, could they have prevented this?
Did the prisoner show signs of mental instability? This is a tragic situation and answers need to be given.
