Mystery Disease Sreads in Indiana Prison


Prisoners in Western Indiana are coming down with an unknown, deadly illness. So far, only one prisoner has died but it was said he wasn't in the greatest condition when he became sick. Doctors have performed an autopsy to find out what this possibly could be but the results will not come in until Tuesday. The prison holds around 1,500 inmates so people are doing everything they can to sanitize all the cells to stop the spread of this mystery disease.

Twenty-five people are being watched at all times in the Putnamville Correctional Facility while eleven of those people are being treated. The symptoms are very serious and flu-like; on Monday four of the prisoners were in intensive care. The symptoms began last Friday and the disease seems to spread quickly. Doctors are doing everything they can to find a cure and discover what started this outbreak.
