Speaking of weapons of destruction.
Since I was not there, thankfully, the following is what I have heard from other inmates and is subject to possible exaggeration and outright untruths.
Last Thursday evening at 9:40 PM the CO yelled "LOCKDOWN!" Now, the usual lockdown time is 10:00 PM, and even though it was only a few minutes earlier than normal, an early lockdown usually means something has gone wrong.
It appears that they found an inmate who had allegedly hung himself in one of the mop closets in another unit. I guess he did not use the cord from his headphones. I heard he was probably hanging there for over two hours.
Now as I said, I did not see the body and I have not heard anything about the event on the radio, so could it be a total fabrication? But one of the inmates who works in Medical, and thus usually has the straight dope on all things medical, said that it actually did happen.
The point is that even though there are only 1,600 inmates here, things do happen, that unless you see it with your own eyes, you can never be too sure it really happened. I do not know about anyone else, but to me it is all pretty freaky.
The inmate was supposedly an older person, and had only five weeks till he was going to be released.
Does this sound like a person who would commit suicide?

Yes, as maybe he had no where to go when he got out. No family or friends willing to offer him a place to stay, and maybe he felt he couldn't get a job to support himself and maybe.... it was all too overwhelming for him.
