10 suicides in the Mass. state prison system in 15 months

The Boston Globe

BOSTON, Ma. - An inmate undergoing a psychiatric evaluation at Bridgewater State Hospital hung himself in a shower stall -- the 10th suicide in the state prison system in the past 15 months, the Department of Correction said Saturday.

Jarred Aranda, 27, wrapped a shoelace around his neck and tied it to the handle of the shower-stall door Friday night, DOC spokeswoman Diane Wiffin said. He was pronounced dead at 9:30 p.m.

Aranda began serving a 1-year sentence for larceny and assault in January. He was transferred from the Bristol County House of Correction to Bridgewater on March 13 to begin a 30-day psychiatric evaluation, Wiffin said.

It was the second death this week in the prisons system.

Thomas Moriconi, 35, was found dead in his cell at MCI-Shirley early Wednesday morning. A preliminary investigation shows he died of a heroin overdose, Wiffin said. Moriconi was serving a 4-year sentence for possession with intent to distribute heroin.
