DEAD PRISONERS CAN BE SERIOUSLY INCONVENIENT

by Bob Walsh

Danny Pham, 27, was a guest of the people of Orange County, CA earlier this month. He was hanging out at the main jail for 180 days due to some misunderstanding over possession of an automobile that wasn't his. He turned up dead and five jail staff are on paid leave.

It appears that the jail staff are not suspected of rehabilitating Pham but they possibly screwed the pooch in an administrative manner. Pham was celled up with an accused (but not convicted) double murderer. Maybe somebody stole his car at some point.

The S. O. isn't saying if the cellie is a suspect. The D A is conducting a homicide investigation and the jail is doing an internal affairs investigation. Following the rules may not set you free but it can protect your ass if things go sideways.
