Fourth Inmate Death Of The Year At Century Prison Under Investigation
November 29, 2022
The death of an inmate at the Century Correctional Institution is under investigation — the fourth inmate death reported at the facility this year.
“We can confirm the Office of Inspector General is currently investigating an incident which resulted in the death of an inmate at Century Correctional Institution on Friday, November 25,” the Florida Department of Corrections told NorthEscambia.com in an email.
FDOC would not specifically confirm if the death was believed to be the result of foul play, but did say that “inmates who cause harm to others are held accountable for their actions”.
The name of the inmate and additional details were not released due an ongoing investigation.
Other inmate deaths were reported this year on April 17, May 14 and July 14. The cause of death remains pending in each, and names have not been released.

system is wrong period
When I was doing my paramedic clinicals in the ICU years ago, There was a convict from the local prison who came in from an attempted suicide but died the same night. Yeah, he “committed suicide” by shoving a plastic trash bag down his throat and tied another plastic trash bag around his head.
UH, that’s not generally how people commit suicide. That’s how people commit homicide.
Something fishy there.
I don’t see how it’s under investigation when there’s so many cameras everywhere and guards driving around and guards in the towers why are Ford deaths now still under investigation seems very faulty to me they get them drugs in there get on them drugs and start Trippin or they owe people money and they kill him or they look at someone wrong and think they’re plotting on them and someone ends up dead prison isn’t safe so people should stay out of prison but guess what the laws are not always correct and people get sent to prison but that doesn’t give anyone the right to kill them because they’re there or give them the right to harm them
Ants in a completely enclosed ant farm will kill each other too if they just smell funny. And “under investigation” means (in there), “I’m waiting to interview my snitch”.
A perfectly good reason to try to avoid incarceration. It ain’t safe!!
“The cause of death remains pending in each, and names have not been released,” usually translates into, “We’re waiting to release the whole story until AFTER we settle the lawsuits.”
Bill T, most deaths in prison are not hard to figure out. The crimes, crime scenes, and the killer (if there is one) are all well contained. I worked in corrections over 20 years and never saw an unsolved death. Just because you didn’t see a follow up story, doesn’t mean it wasn’t solved.
Bill when I worked there long ago seemed over 80% had 25 years to life sentences. Some die of old age or get sick and won’t go to the infirmary. You have gang warfare and individual bullys. Plus lover quarrels. Add in drugs, cell phones and the mix and it’s surprising there aren”t more deaths. Video cameras are everywhere now. All cases are investigated by the inspectors office which is independent of the institution.
Let’s see under investigation !!! Seems to me they haven’t figured out what happened to the first person that died much less the second third or fourth!!! I believe the people doing the investigation needs to be investigated!!! Obviously something is bad WRONG!!!!!
