After record numbers of inmates died in 2022, the ACLU looked into the occurrences and is now suing for wrongful deaths, as are others.
FAIRBANKS, Alaska -Investigations by concerned parties are revealing record numbers of Alaskan inmates dying while incarcerated.
Others are also filing similar suits, including attorney Vance Sanders, suing on behalf of 27-year-old Yad Duu Quay Mark Cook Jr. Rider was incarcerated at Mat-Su Pretrial and died of suicide on September 9, 2022. He had a history of complex substance misuse and mental health issues. His family and Rider himself were aware of mental issues he faced and said he was “begging” for mental health help during his incarceration, but did not receive it. “James and I share a beautiful, brilliant 8-year-old son, who’ll now grow up without knowing his dad,” said Tamara Halliburton.
