Mysterious murders in Massachusetts' supermax
MassachusettsŐ supermax in Walpole, MA has been locked down since the summer of 1997. Since the lockdown at least six prisoners have died under questionable circumstances. This kind of increase in prisoner deaths is not surprising considering the inhumane conditions of locking prisoners inside of their nine by eleven foot cells for 23 and one half hours every day.
Past issues of MASS RAIL have reported on some of the details of the deaths. In one case, Abel Remy died shortly after a beating by guards. In another case, Reggie Regan was fatally strangled in a suicide watch cell.
