Died in prison
Name not reported
Five men held at the Lucasville prison in Ohio were killed by other prisoners on the first afternoon of the 1993 uprising, after prisoners took over L block. Staughton Lynd said in a 2006 interview that the prisoners who held the block killed the five because they believed the men were informants. The occupation began after the warden ordered a tuberculosis testing plan that prisoners opposed, and it lasted eleven days.
Cause of death, as reported: Killed by another person in custody. Staughton Lynd says prisoners who had taken over L block killed five people they believed were informants during the 1993 Lucasville uprising.
