Last week I showed you the current digs of the only person who has been charged in the murder of Tupac Shakur.
Keffe D resides in High Desert State Prison, a maximum security facility in Nevada that includes a Death Row.
But should being incarcerated there be a death sentence for the general population?
The numbers don’t look good. In fact they are alarming.
From July to October of this year four deaths have been ruled homicides with a fifth death under investigation.
About two weeks ago Dylan Walters—family says he was just about to finish his sentence attempted larceny with a value of less than 35-hundred dollars– was stabbed at the prison. He later died at University Medical Center on October 27.
Now I am sure that some of you reading think well so what they are convicts. And you especially don’t care about Keffe.
But these prisoners, including Keffe D are not on Death Row.
Well not officially.
And the 8th Amendment says that prisoners should not be subject to cruel and unusual punishment.
Keffe D’s trial has been postponed until February 9th.
More to come
