Wisconsin's Rock County Sheriff's Department is launching an internal review after an inmate killed himself while in custody. That internal review will re-examine the inmate's behavior after he left court Friday to see if he displayed suicidal behaviors that may have gone unnoticed. Just six hours after 38-year-old Christopher Brown was in court, he hung himself by a bed sheet in the Rock County Jail. Brown's death is the first suicide at the jail in seven years but it's not the first time an inmate has tried to kill themselves. Last week a female inmate also tried to kill herself by jumping from a second story housing balcony. Officers grabbed her before she could jump. Jail administrators would not say if Brown was under suicide watch at the time of his death. Still, a mandatory investigation will examine all of the events that led up to Brown's suicide. Every officer that had contact with brown at the jail will be interviewed and the reports will be forwarded to the Department of Corrections for their review. The Sheriff's Department said the internal investigation will take several weeks to complete. |
