County Jail Not at Fault

By Nathan Cormier, Williams County Sheriff

Early Sunday morning, convicted criminal Tom Conway was found in the showers hung by his own bed sheet. He was pronounced dead at 8:21 that morning. It has been found that he, indeed, hung himself in an act of suicide. A recent article stated that Tom’s death was due to the fact of juveniles being treated unjustly. Although young criminals have the right to a separate complex, this was not the reason for the suicide in the William’s County Jail. These convicts need separate facilities and there is a bill in congress supporting the building of a Juvenile Delinquent Home. We need to right the ways of these young adults. Our deepest sympathies go out to the Conway family.
