'Heinous, corrupt and evil': Feds investigate after 15 dead in Mississippi prisons
Keewin Grayer served 24 years in Mississippi's state prisons for drug offenses. The conditions he experienced on a daily basis were "inhumane," he said, "and well below the standards of any prison in America."
Food would contain insects, rodent feces and hair, he said. He went weeks without running water and showers as a form of group punishment, and prison staff would dangle promises of steak dinners and DVDs to inmates if they cleaned up the filth and mold before an outside agency came in to inspect.
Grayer's stint included being locked up at Mississippi State Penitentiary in Parchman, one of four facilities where the federal government said Wednesday it plans to investigate a deepening crisis, amplified by a string of violent deaths and lockdowns and protests outside the Mississippi Capitol to "shut it down."
Grayer was released from prison three years ago, and his time at Parchman included being housed at Unit 29 — an area so plagued by problems that Gov. Tate Reeves, a Republican, announced in his first State of the State address last month that he will close it.
