Parchman Prison’s Dark Secret: Keys Shared, Lights Switched Off, Dead Body Ignored

Apparently, Parchman’s idea of 'security protocol' involves leaving inmates in darkness, making it harder to tell who’s who and what’s happening — which in Howell’s case, led straight to a fatal blackout. Because nothing says efficiency like swapping cells and switching off the electricity.
