Second Woman Strangled During Conjugal Visit at Mule Creek State Prison
A second woman, Stephanie Diane Brinson, was tragically strangled during an overnight visit at Mule Creek State Prison in California. This incident marks the second such occurrence at the facility within the past six months, raising serious concerns about safety and oversight during conjugal visits.
Stephanie, who was visiting her husband, David Dowells, was found dead in their assigned visiting unit. The family of the victim has demanded a thorough investigation into the circumstances leading to her death, as well as an examination of prison policies regarding visitor safety.
The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) has launched an internal investigation to understand how these incidents occurred and to prevent future tragedies. The first incident involved another woman who was strangled during a similar visit, prompting questions about the effectiveness of current security measures.
Advocates for prison reform are calling for immediate action to enhance the safety protocols for visitors and to ensure that such incidents do not recur. The community and the families affected are awaiting answers and hoping for swift justice and improved security measures.
