There have been three inmate deaths in four months.
A town hall was held Thursday night about the Dauphin County Prison .It comes after three inmate deaths in four months.Community members were invited to the forum with the warden, director of criminal justice, prison board members and other county leaders.Some attendees shared personal stories and some shared feelings of disgust for how loved ones have been treated, but the common thread was that things need to change.
Greenpowell, who has had relatives in the prison over the years, said that money alone should promise decent living quarters.'If you got that much money per person, that should be a beautiful prison – running water, food, health – everything should be in there. We should not have to be putting a lot of money on the books to making sure our loved ones are safe, that they have soap, toothbrush, toothpaste,' she said.
