This is such a confusing story—how does someone "hog tie" themselves before committing suicide by hanging?

The confusing part is that there's so many details provided but the report just kind of... awkwardly buries those facts underneath a pile of other facts.

Like the story wants to make you believe that this was a case of the jail being so horrific that this person with possible mental health issues killed themself.

You know, rather than focusing on what the conditions of the body's discovery actually imply: he was lynched in jail.

So youre getting a lot of responses, but everyone is latching on to the word hanging instead of ligature.

These are different things. Ligature does not involve the weight of the body, but a constrictive device on the neck. 3 nooses, one on hands, feet, and neck, would make you fully mobile until the rope was pulled.

Suspicious, definately. Should this place exist? No. Insane to be happening in a prison, definately. Unheard of? No.

The confusing part is the use of hanging, as that is a very different form of strangulation.
