    Grandma Sues Utah Prison Over Grandson's Suicide

    Brock Tucker, a 19‑year‑old with a low IQ and brain injury, was held in solitary confinement at Central Utah Correctional Facility after being sentenced for auto theft. His grandmother, Janet Crane, filed a civil complaint alleging that the prison and related agencies failed to provide adequate mental health care and allowed physical abuse, leading to Tucker’s death by suicide.
