Last month the Arkansas Department of Corrections said an inmate who died in a cell at the East Arkansas Regional Unit apparently took his own life. Investigators from the Arkansas State Police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the 44-year-old man’s death.
A month later, a second suicide is being investigated at the East Arkansas Regional Unit of a 25 year old Phillips County man who was being held at the prison since March 16. Phillips County leases space at the prison unit.
