...found hanging in his cell Saturday...
I wish they’d explain the mechanics of this, not out of ghoulish curiosity, but because it simply doesn’t make sense. You can’t hang yourself if there’s nothing to tie to.
Determined people have "hanged" themselves from a doorknob or acot two feet high. It's slow strangulation. A jumpsuit can be a rope, unless it gets locked up the back and you can't tear it with your teeth.
Do the cells have doorknobs? Is the bed a frame or a block or a mattress on the floor?
Maybe you can hang yourself from a toilet. There are suicide-resistant toilets.
