Yet Another Inmate Death Reported at Hays State Prison

Hays Prison (inside)

Yet another inmate death has been reported at Hays State Prison in Pennville.

According to the Chattanooga Times Free Press, the 42 year old inmate died on December 11th – and the Georgia Bureau of Investigation is saying that the death may have been a case of suicide, but family members of inmate Phillips Pearson – don’t agree.

The article quoted Pearson’s father as saying that he saw bruises on his son’s body before he was buried, and his son had previously told him during a telephone conversation that he feared for his life.

Chattooga County Coroner Earle Rainwater refused to comment on the death, citing the on-going investigation; the Georgia Bureau of Investigation also declined further comment citing the same reason.
