MCC death - official narrative vs questions
The August 2019 death at Metropolitan Correctional Center remains controversial.
**Official findings:**
- Medical examiner: Suicide by hanging
- DOJ investigation: Multiple failures by staff
- Two guards charged, later acquitted
**Documented failures:**
- Removed from suicide watch early
- Guards falsified check logs
- Cameras malfunctioned
- Cellmate transferred night before
**What documents show:**
- MCC inspection reports from 2018 show chronic understaffing
- Previous incidents at facility
- Guards working overtime shifts
I'm not saying what happened. I'm saying the documented failures are extraordinary.
