Two Inmates Suspected in Prison Homicides | Denver News

Two inmates are now suspected in the brutal deaths of two other prisoners at Bent County Correctional Facility—one died from injuries, the other from a fatal assault, while a third was injured and hospitalized. The Colorado Department of Corrections has classified the incidents as homicides, and the suspects have been moved to high-security housing. Michael Fisher, a 59-year-old serving a life sentence for a 1996 murder, was reportedly on the verge of clemency. Charles Gates, 27, was serving time for multiple offenses including theft and drug possession. Authorities were alerted after a headcount revealed missing inmates, leading to a tense search that uncovered the bodies. The facility, operated by CoreCivic, remains under investigation as officials vow to pursue justice. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
