Edmonton inmate stomped to death owed $287 LRT fine



https://ca.news.yahoo.com/edmonton-prisoners-skull-crushed-vice-171110272.html


Barry Stewart owed $287.

Rather than pay the fine, he chose to spend three days in the Edmonton Remand Centre.

He never left.

Two days into his sentence, in the small hours of the morning, he was stomped to death by a fellow inmate, a mentally ill man he should not have shared a cell with.

Somebody really screwed up since Somers was supposed to be kept away from other prisoners.
