Cameron Holifield
Cameron Holifield was 22 years old and died in November 2022 at Staton Correctional Facility, a few days before his scheduled release. His family describes him as a happy young man who never got a full chance to grow up, and his mother says she is still worried about him and wants to know he did not suffer. According to his family, the state did not tell them about his death for weeks, and his body was buried at Limestone Correctional Facility without their knowledge or consent. The Alabama Department of Corrections says it made several attempts to reach the family, which the family disputes. The official cause of death has not been released, though it is believed to have been an overdose.

Cameron Holifield's cause of death has not been officially released, and his family disputes the Alabama Department of Corrections' account of notifying them, saying the state did not inform them for weeks and buried him without their consent.
