Inmate Killed at Ross Correctional Institution

June 28, 2011

Natuan Williams was stabbed to death in Ross Correctional Institution in Chillicothe. He was 28 years old. From reviewing his Cuyahoga County cases (it appears he was already scrubbed from the ODRC web site), it appears he was about three years shy of his release date.

Williams failed to file a direct appeal and then ran into procedural bars in his attempts to attack his convictions through a post-conviction petition, an appeal from the denial of his petition, and a petition for a writ of habeas corpus. Read a story about the stabbing here or here.
