Summary
Stephanie Diane Dowells, 62, was strangled during an overnight visit with her husband, David Brinson, at Mule Creek state prison in California.
Brinson, serving life without parole for four murders, claimed Dowells passed out, but authorities ruled her death a homicide.
This marks the second strangulation death during a family visit at the prison in a year; Tania Thomas was killed in July 2024 while visiting inmate Anthony Curry. Investigations are ongoing.
California is one of four states allowing family visits to maintain positive relationships.
Yeah, this is the right answer.
Also, maybe in 30 years we’ll find a better way to reach out to people and help them.
If you kill that person, you’ll never have a chance.
What about the wife he just killed?
How will killing the husband help the dead wife?
Even among victim families whose perpetrator do receive the death penalty, it doesn’t usually help, and often, it makes it worse for victim families.
Freedom to choose. You dislike freedom?
As written, that’s meaningless. Whose freedom? If you have a point, lay it out clearly.
This is meaningless. You’re disingenuous. If you think everyone in that interaction didn’t make thier own choices you’re an authoritarian coward.
People jump over tiger cages all the time.
Seek help.
Same you’re authoritarian. Straight coward way of thinking. If you need daddy to tell you what’s right and wrong you clearly are an npc.
