ORIGINAL STORY: An inmate who was being held in the Camden County Jail has died. Although no information is being released at this time, it is known that 44-year-old Douglas Allen May apparently was found deceased inside the jail on Wednesday. May, whose address was listed as Humansville according to courthouse records, was being held on felony possession and resisting charges along with misdemeanor charges of harassment and possession of paraphernalia. May is the second inmate to die in just over a year while in the custody of Camden County.
At what point does anyone in this county get held accountable. The last person who died was a very good friend of mine and there was no reason for him to even be in jail but the situation after his death was to say the least not official or truthful
