Suicide on Death Row

After the falsified story regarding Timothy Pruitt’s “suicide” it looks as though another inmate on death row in GA, Leeland Mark Braley, actually has committed suicide.  Here is another article regarding the suicide (we find it to be one of the more distasteful articles reporting his death).  This article is an example of how inmates on death row, even in death, are discussed in most inhumane ways.  We wonder how, after the supposed suicide of Pruitt Braley was able to end his own life.  Wouldn’t common sense suggest that one incident of violence (of any type) ending in death is cause for increased monitoring of inmates on death row?  Too often we see a lack of common sense being used in regard to the GA Department of Corrections.
