Officials are investigating the death of an inmate found hanging in his cell at one of North Carolina's highest security prisons.
Carl M. Ober III was found Jan. 8 at Maury Correctional Institution, a 1,000-cell close security prison for adult males near Hookerton.
A spokeswoman for the N.C. Department of Public Safety said deputies from the Greene County Sheriff's Office are investigating to determine how Ober died. It was not immediately clear whether the 26-year-old inmate was under any sort of suicide precautions.
Ober was serving a 32-year sentence for a 2006 murder conviction from Chowan County.

I never said his father wasn't a good man and I never said I was perfect. As far as the shoe being on the other foot, I would have disowned my son the day he killed a member of his own family. What people had to say may affect me a little, still doesn't change the fact that my son is a killer.

And we aren't the "police" or the "hey! CO". We are correctional officers. And in the prisons across the state, there are huge shortages on staff because no one wants to be locked up with thugs for a paycheck!
