Sixth inmate dies at Wisconsin's Waupun Correctional Institution
Damien Evans, a 23-year-old inmate, died at the Waupun Correctional Institution, marking the sixth death at the facility since June 2023. His death is currently under investigation by local authorities, and the circumstances remain unclear. Since 2023, the prison has seen a troubling pattern of deaths, including suicides and fatal overdoses, leading to criminal charges against the former warden and staff for misconduct and abuse. This incident highlights ongoing concerns regarding the prison's conditions and treatment of inmates, particularly in light of an independent review being conducted by the state. The prison's history of neglect raises alarms, as advocates criticize the lack of transparency surrounding inmate deaths. Governor Tony Evers has proposed substantial funding to overhaul the prison system, reflecting the urgent need for reform.
