Another inmate was found dead at 201 Poplar.
Marcel Hutton, 35, was discovered unconscious in his cell shortly before 7 p.m. on Sunday, according to the Shelby County Sheriff’s Office (SCSO).
Despite efforts by nurses and deputies to save his life, Hutton was declared dead.
His passing was the fifth in the last two months and the thirteenth death in Shelby County custody this year.
Sheriff Floyd Bonner Jr. and Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris have been at odds over the jail and its circumstances for the past few weeks, with Bonner advocating for a new, $1 billion jail.
