Jacob Herman, a 35-year-old inmate at High Desert State Prison, was killed just days before his scheduled release. His family plans to sue the Nevada Department of Corrections, alleging that Herman was placed in a violent wing with a dangerous inmate, King, known for erratic behavior. Despite warnings, Herman was put in Kings cell, leading to his tragic death. This incident is one of many in the Nevada prison system this year, with 66 reported deaths.
