密歇根州艾奥尼亚县贝拉米溪监狱七个月内第三起同室杀人案：35岁囚犯10月25日死于双人牢房
密歇根州艾奥尼亚县贝拉米溪惩教所再发生一起疑似同室杀人案，州警方已按凶杀案立案调查。据密歇根州惩教署发言人珍妮·里尔10月27日向《底特律自由报》证实，35岁的唐特·罗肖德·休斯敦10月25日中午前后被发现倒在双人牢房内，工作人员和随后赶到的急救人员实施抢救，但他最终被宣布死亡。
密歇根州警方中尉杜韦恩·罗宾逊同日证实，休斯敦之死正按凶杀案调查，其同室囚犯涉嫌杀人，但该人尚未被起诉、姓名也未公布。休斯敦来自底特律地区，2012年因萨吉诺县的案件被判长期监禁，其中包括二级谋杀罪名。
这是贝拉米溪监狱自今年3月以来第三起囚犯涉嫌杀害同室囚犯的案件：8月19日，36岁的凯文·约瑟夫·凯利被发现时已有外伤迹象、随后死亡；3月27日，40岁的约书亚·雷·麦吉希被发现死于牢房，其同室囚犯迈克尔·瑞安·布鲁尔已被控公开谋杀罪。
密歇根惩教组织工会主席拜伦·奥斯本指出，贝拉米溪有大量四级双人牢房，其中不少囚犯本应列为最高级别的五级、单独关押；惩教署9月宣布增设870张高度戒备床位，但奥斯本说多数床位数年内无法投入使用，狱警和囚犯现在就需要行动。
Third Cellmate Killing in Seven Months at Michigan's Bellamy Creek Prison: 35-Year-Old Prisoner Found Dead in Two-Man Cell on October 25
Another suspected cellmate killing has occurred at Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility in Ionia County, Michigan, and state police are investigating it as a homicide. Michigan Department of Corrections spokesperson Jenni Riehle confirmed to the Detroit Free Press on October 27 that 35-year-old Donte Rashod Houston was found unresponsive in his two-man cell around midday on October 25; staff and responding emergency personnel attempted lifesaving measures, but he was pronounced dead.
Michigan State Police Lt. Duane Robinson confirmed the same day that Houston's death is being investigated as a homicide and that his cellmate is suspected of killing him, though that person has not been charged and has not been named. Houston, from the Detroit area, was sentenced in 2012 in a Saginaw County case to a long prison term that included a second-degree murder conviction.
This is the third case since March in which a Bellamy Creek prisoner is suspected of killing a cellmate: on August 19, 36-year-old Kevin Joseph Kelly was found with signs of trauma and later died; on March 27, 40-year-old Joshua Ray McGehee was found dead in his cell, and his cellmate, Michael Ryan Brewer, has been charged with open murder.
Byron Osborn, president of the Michigan Corrections Organization union, pointed out that Bellamy Creek has many Level IV two-man cells, and that a number of the prisoners in them should be classified at the highest Level V and housed alone. The corrections department announced in September that it would add 870 high-security beds, but Osborn said most of those beds will not be usable for years, while officers and prisoners need action now.
