Brown County officials investigate inmate death
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The death of a jail inmate in Brown County is being called suspicious and authorities are investigating.
Officials say Thursday that 21-year-old James L. Brown, of Green Bay, died Monday. Natural disease has been ruled out. Toxicology results could take up to two weeks.
Brown County authorities say Brown was “displaying seizure-like activity” and was taken to St. Vincent Hospital, where he was pronounced dead. The Sheriff’s Department says an officer was called to Brown’s pd after another inmate said there was a medical emergency.
Brown was in jail for possession of THC, the active ingredient in marijuana. He was awaiting sentencing after revocation of probation.

That is really sad! Yet we let child molesters go. How ironic, don't you think?

Luckily they arrested him, otherwise he could have sat around all day feeling happy and possibly unproductive.

I just hope they can add to the more than 2.2 million people we have in prison right now and ensure that we continue our massive global lead in the incarceration race.

Sure it might be very very expensive but hey the war on drugs is almost won right?
