JESSUP, Md. (AP) - Howard County police are investigating the apparent suicide of an inmate at a county detention facility who was recently charged with sex abuse of a minor.
Forty-three-year-old Thomas Edward Brookhyser died Friday night at a local hospital. Bowie resident Brookhyser was found on the floor of his Howard County Central Booking cell around 7:30 p.m. Friday. Police say Brookhyser appeared to have hung himself by linking his shirt to a handicap bar near the cell's toilet.
According to police, the preliminary investigation shows correctional staff performed a suicide screening and did not see any indicators for suicide. They also say there does not appear to be any evidence of foul play at this time.

We need to make sure they all have handicap bars and nice shirts that won't rip when we lock these animals up.
So if I read this right the guy hung himself from a handicap bar that, by specifications, should have been no more than 34 - 38 inches off the floor. How does that work - unless he was only 30" tall?
Sounds like an inside job on a pedophile to me. Lets only hope they all get the same treatment.
Tie it around the bar and then around your neck. All you have to do then is sit down.
