Suicide Exposes Squalor in Texas PrisonDescription: This is a Monday, July 2, 2007 image of the Dickens County Correctional Center, located two miles south of Spur, Texas. Inmate Scot Noble Payne committed suicide on March 4, less than seven months after he was sent to the Texas prison by Idaho authorities trying to ease inmate overcrowding in their own state. His death exposed what had been Idaho's standard practice for dealing with inmates sent to out-of-state prisons: Out of sight, out of mind. Hundreds of pages of documents obtained by The Associated Press through an open-records request show that Idaho conducted little monitoring of its out-of-state inmates, despite repeated complaints from prisoners, their familes and a prison inspector.
