Inmate Dies in Federal Prison | Denver News

A federal prison in Colorado mourns the sudden death of 55-year-old inmate George Hall, who passed away just days after arriving at the high-security facility. Found unresponsive midday Monday, Hall had only been incarcerated there since August 6th — serving a 10-year sentence for assaulting another inmate with a bizarre weapon: a sock stuffed with a metal lock. His original conviction, from South Carolina, stemmed from a brutal 1993 attack using the same improvised tool — while he was already serving a 25-year sentence for attempted murder. Though no one else was harmed and the cause of death remains undisclosed, authorities are investigating this tragic incident at a facility separate from the notorious ADMAX supermax prison.
