another young black woman commits suicide in jail, now in Alabama [View all]

from The Root, 7/16/2015

Kindra Darnell Chapman was reportedly booked at Homewood City Jail Tuesday at around 6:22 p.m. on a first-degree-robbery charge for allegedly taking a cellphone from another individual. She was last seen alive at 6:30 p.m. Jailers found the 18-year-old a little under an hour and a half later, at 7:50, unresponsive. According to officials, Chapman used a bed sheet to hang herself.

The teen was taken to Brookwood Medical Center but was pronounced dead.

What the hell is going on?
