Sunday, the third of February, marked the third homicide in the North Branch Correctional Institution. The victim was Ricky Bailey, 51, who was sentenced to life in prison for breaking and entering into a woman's home, and binding her and her 16-year-old daughter with tape, while they raped the woman's 20-year-old daughter in another room. They also forced the woman to rob the bank which employed her. Around 4 am, while officers were delivering breakfast to the inmates, Bailey's cellmate told them they needed to remove his body, which was found dead with multiple injuries on his head, neck, and other areas. The suspect appears to be another inmate, paralleling this case with two previous murders in the same jail: Charles David Richard IV, who murdered two people in Columbia, and Michael Armstead, a serial rapist.
Carrie Wells uses only facts to build her article. Her story merely tells of the event that occurred, and the bare facts surrounding it. Her article appears completely devoid of emotion for the deceased, but as such, she makes it clear she has no sympathy for the victims, because they were also criminals, and deserved their ends. Each of the three had been sentenced to a life in prison for their actions, and their life was cut short by what may become a vigilante within the prison.
