Another Prisoner Dead By “Suicide”
The latest death represents the 6th Arkansas prisoner to die by alleged “suicide” in just 2024 alone. We are only 4 months into the year!
A security guard during the alleged hanging said that he heard Ferry-Payne’s cellmate shouting for help when he found the prisoner was already on the floor. The cellmate said he was asleep when he woke up to find the body just hanging there.
Emergency life-saving efforts did not work.
