MDOC Commissioner Burl Cain asks Rankin District Attorney to investigate CMCF
JACKSON, MS (Feb 24) – Commissioner of the Mississippi Department of Corrections Burl Cain began an internal investigation into an inmate death this weekend at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility, the findings of which he will turn over to Rankin County District Attorney John Bramlett. Friday night, CMCF prisoner 39-year-old Ronald Frederick Apgar died suddenly of causes to be determined by an autopsy.
“We have banned an employee in question at the front gate of CMCF,” said Commissioner Cain, “and started an internal investigation into our response time. I personally want an independent third-party investigation into what happened and will turn our findings, documents, video, everything, over to the Rankin County District Attorney.”
The Commissioner said additional details will be shared when investigators with MDOC’s Investigative Division and those for D.A. Bramlett finish their work. The next-of-kin of inmate Ronald Apgar have been notified.
