    I mean… probably. He was in a high-security prison with lots of surveillance. Was he intimidated into doing so? Who knows. It’s pretty dumb that he was on a 24/7 suicide watch and people got lax about it.

        No, it’s not that crazy. Prisons are run extremely poorly and, unless you’re a high profile criminal, no one cares about you.

        The cameras have probably been broken for months, the guards are probably never around because they are short staffed all the time.

        Go talk to a criminal attorney. “Client died in prison, no one knows exactly what happened” is unfortunately not a rare circumstance.
