Florida Sex offender beaten by fellow jail inmate dies
Sad news to report. The man we wrote about in last week’s weekly update (https://floridaactioncommittee.org/weekly-update-2018-07-10/) has died.
James Mills was in jail after being arrested by the Pinellas County Sheriff’s office on June 12 for failure to register as a sex offender. For a F***ing registration violation!!!
News reports state an autopsy will be done to “determine the cause of death”. Seriously?!? the man goes unresponsive and is on a feeding tube immediately after being beaten by another inmate and they need to determine what happened?
Rest in peace James Mills and may God have mercy on us all!

I was made to wear a neck band identifying myself as a child molester during my booking and bail process in 1992. I didn’t molest.
.. my crime non violent. i was isolated and then thrown into the jail populas. Thank god bond came quickly and I was never incarcerated again.
Sex Offenders imprisoned require special circumstances within housing a inmate. The privatisation of Prisons have lead to terrible violence and uncontrolled supervision. JEV
This not news to most of us that have been through the system but there is a wright up by the MO. ACLU with an interview with a former public defender named Chris from Farmington MO. Which to quote
“ Clients were encouraged to take plea deals regardless of their innocence because it was more expedient.”
“
“ Innocent people were going to jail.”He was forced to fail clients.”
Many of us have said this but it’s good to have an Attorney finally admit it. To bad the rest of the world doesn’t know it, or refuses to believe it.
Do you die for not renewing your Cosco or Sams Club membership ?
This is why I register everything and comply. Not because I can go to jail, but because I don’t want to be killed for a mere technicality. Sad but true.
I may be confusing this with another registrant beat in jail story… However, it is my understanding that an argument transpired of what was on TV and a fight ensued.
Regardless of what happened, it’s sad and completely unavoidable.
The news reports say it was over the TV remote.
Whether true or not, he was in jail for a registration violation and but for that he would not be dead.
The man that killed him was also in Jail for another lethal beatdown.
Agreed, he should not of been in Jail. However, we do not know of he was attacked because of a remote control or his label.
Should also be noted the man that killed him had 26 felony arrests.
