Adam Bond
Adam Bond, 38, was held at St. Clair Correctional Facility in Alabama when he was found unresponsive in his cell on January 4, 2024, and he was pronounced dead in the health care unit. His family and friends had spoken to a legislative committee about their fear for his safety, and they later set up a fundraiser for his funeral. The family says he suffered a traumatic brain injury from a beating with a lead pipe at Donaldson Prison in November, and that they had asked for him to be moved to a facility that could treat him. The Alabama Department of Corrections has not stated a cause of death, and the family's attorney is seeking a private autopsy.

His family says a November beating at Donaldson Prison caused a traumatic brain injury and that they tried to get prison officials to move him to a facility that could treat him, and their attorney is seeking a private autopsy while the state lists the manner as pending.
