NASSAU- Authorities are investigating the death of a 29-year-old inmate who was found unresponsive in his cell on Monday morning.
Mikhail Miller’s death does not appear to be from natural causes.
National Security Minister Wayne Munroe confirmed that he had injuries to his body.
The investigation will determine how he got them.
According to well-placed sources, Miller was housed in the F Block in Maximum Security.
He was admitted to prison on October 8 for theft.
Miller pleaded guilty to stealing a Samsung tablet, valued at $200, and an Alcatel cellphone, worth $120, from his mother on September 12.
He committed the crime soon after his release from prison for another theft.
As part of his three-month sentence, Magistrate Shaka Serville ordered Miller to receive treatment from Sandilands Rehabilitation Center.
The mental health hospital has suspended new admissions. However, staff from SRC provided treatment to inmates.
Miller told the Court that he’d been sent to prison seven times and SRC five times.
Despite his extensive criminal history, Miller asked the magistrate not to let him “wither away in prison.”
He said he really needed a job so that he could get his own place.
When the magistrate asked what kind of job he could do, Miller said he liked security work.
Magistrate Serville took into account Miller’s previous criminal history and that he’d reoffended so soon after coming out of prison.
