An inmate at the St. Clair County Correctional Facility was stabbed to death by another inmate Monday night, a state prison spokesman said. Michael Darrell Turner, 24, was stabbed multiple times about 7:30 p.m. in one of the general population dorms inside the prison at Springville, said Brian Corbett, public information officer for the Alabama Department of Corrections.

Carroll has been serving a Feb. 13, 1998 life without parole sentence out of Jefferson County for a murder, he said.
