The death of humans makes death in Alabama's Elmore prison, which was not reported for months

The department for corrections in Alabama did not report on a murder that had been taking place in the Elmore Correctional Facility near Montgomery, Alabama, for more than 10 months.

The 40 -year -old Randall Thames was beaten to death on June 20, 2024 in a dormitory in prison. His murder brings the number of reported murders in 2024 to 15, which is likely due to the sub -report, since Mr. Thames' murder underlines.

AdOC for the first time confirmed Mr. Thame's death on June 26, 2024 against the local media and reported that on June 19, he was found in Elmore in “medical need” that lost consciousness and died the next morning in the infirmary.

Eji received reports from imprisoned people at the time when Mr. Thame was killed in an attack on Elmore. Local supporters also asked questions about his death and in a newsletter to numerous state legislators and federal authorities said that the family of Mr. Thames “tried to get answers to his well -being” and that the foul was suspected.

The state law obliges the AdOC, the prison supervisory committee, to report the cause of death for everyone who dies in custody, “including the results of an autopsy that is made available to the department by a third party”. Although Mr. Thame's cause of death knows, AdOC told the committee in at least two subsequent quarterly reports that his death was “open investigation”.

Eji recently confirmed Mr. Thame's death as a murder. An autopsy closed on June 21, 2024 listed the type of death of Mr. Thame as a “murder” due to a “blunt force trauma of the torso” with extensive injuries, including eight broken ribs, an injured spleen, and almost three liters of blood in his chest cavity.

A suspect was arrested on June 25, 2024 and charged with Mr. Thames's murder. He showed that he grabbed Mr. Thame before his death and repeatedly kneels him in the torso in the torso.

In this case, long -term concerns about dealing with ADOC deaths are highlighted in custody. In 2019, the US Ministry of Justice Alabama's prison officer criticized the fact that they have incorrectly portrayed the causes of death and the number of murders that overdosed and incorrectly presented deaths in the state's prisons.

Nevertheless and despite the concerns of the Republican and Democratic legislators that it would hinder their ability to blind the department, the ADOC published monthly reports on deaths on quarterly reports in 2023. At that time, the state rep. Would be legislative session.
