Choctaw Activist Found Dead In Prison Cell

On July 13, Sandra Bland was found dead in her cell in Waller County, Texas. Just one day later, the body of Rexdale Henry, an activist and a member of the Choctaw tribe, was discovered in the Neshoba County Jail in Mississippi.

Henry, a 53 year-old who recently ran for a seat on the Bogue Chitto Choctaw Tribal Council, was arrested in Mississippi on June 9 “for failure to pay a fine.” The Jackson Free Press reports that prison guards found his body at 10 AM on July 14. He was seen alive just half an hour before.
