JACKSON, Mississippi — A prisoner serving time for child molestation was strangled by a fellow inmate earlier this month at the East Mississippi Correctional Facility, prison officials said Tuesday. Management and Training Corp., the Utah-based company that runs the prison for the state, said Tuesday officers found 71-year-old Charles Elliot McGrew alone and unresponsive in his cell on June 10, with a rope made of sheets tied around his neck. He was pronounced dead at a Meridian hospital. McGrew was serving a 15-year sentence for unlawful touching of a child in Harrison County. MTC spokesman Issa Arnita said McGrew was found when prison workers were going to get him for a medical appointment. Arnita said that it wasn't clear how long it had been since officers had previously checked on McGrew. Read More. |
