The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation is investigating the death of an inmate as a homicide.
Officials say officers at the California Substance Abuse Treatment Facility in Corcoran found 21-year-old Inmate Shawn Jackson Jr. unresponsive around 1:30 pm on July 18.
Medical staff was called and he was taken to a nearby hospital in Hanford, where he later died.
Investigators later determined that 31-year-old Inmate Jarvis Richerson had attacked Jackson.
Authorities say the Office of the Inspector General and Office of Internal Affairs were notified.
The Kings County coroner will determine Jackson’s official cause of death.
According to officials Jackson was received from Orange County on September 20, 203 to serve four years for pimping before death.
Richerson was received originally in July 2015 but had been in and out before finally being sentenced to 8 years in December 2023 for rape with force, corporal injury, and assault with a firearm.

How is it that CDCR can get away with MURDER in it’s FACE they laugh at that fact that they have BLOOD on their hands and like what are we going to do about it “NOTHING” CDCR leaves it open for comments and it gets NONE, not one single parent, or sibling or grandparents, brothers, Grandpas.. no one speaks up for what CDCR is doing to our loved ones in prison making up POLICIES as they are Implemented. Policies are not law nor does it superseded over Constitution . These brutal attacks are Set up by CDCR correctional Officers, who knows that north and south are long time RIVALS. with the Fresno Bulldogs but yet these made up Policies by CDCR makes it Legal. That’s MURDER THEY KILL without regard to Human Life. They have BLOOD on their HANDS. These policies do not give CDCR that right to KILL.. they need to be STOPPED AND held Accountable for their actions. Just like they hold inmates accountable. CDCR is no different. People need to pay attention and comment your complaint about how this is wrong. Theres 0 comments. be their voice speak up for your loved ones in prison just one comment will change being aware and hopefully they can make it out alive. Before it’s too late.
