Lawrence Taylor, 44, admitted to stabbing Jan Stevens to death in January 2019 at the high-security USP Terre Haute facility, according to investigators. Taylor pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and received a life sentence Feb. 12.

Friends of Nasih Khalil Ra’id say he was struggling to cope with conditions at the Federal Correctional Complex in Terre Haute, Indiana. The facility houses the U.S. prison bureau’s “Special Confinement Unit,” or federal death row.

The U.S. prison bureau reported the only Indiana resident on federal death row became unresponsive and died Friday. A spokesperson for the bureau declined to explain what caused Nasih Ra'id to become unresponsive.
