A Department of Corrections Officer committed suicide Thursday night at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Perryville, said Bill Lamoreaux, spokesman for the DOC.
The officer reportedly killed himself a little before 9 p.m. in the outside perimeter of the prison.
The officer had been with the DOC since 1999.
An investigation is being conducted regarding the circumstances of his suicide, Lamoreaux said.
----------------------------
Of course, nothing is as simple as it seems. In March of this year, just a few months ago, another officer from Perryville (the count/movement officer at Lumley) also took his own life.
That makes 2 officer suicides, 1 prisoner death, and 3 fire-setting protesters all in the span of 3 months. And that's all we know about.
What was the reason the Governor didn't order an outside, independent investigation of what's going on at that prison?
