CHESAPEAKE
An inmate at the City Jail was in critical but stable condition Wednesday after trying to hang himself a day earlier, Lt. Col. Jim O’Sullivan said today.
A Sheriff’s deputy found Carlton Edwards, 62, hanging in his jail block around 7:50 p.m. Tuesday, O’Sullivan said. The deputy cut him down and performed CPR.
Other inmates had last heard Edwards talking about three minutes earlier, he said.
“The deputy was able to revive him,” O’Sullivan said.
Edwards was taken by EMS to Chesapeake Regional Medical Center just after 8 p.m., O’Sullivan said. His status Thursday morning was not immediately available.
Edwards was serving time for statutory burglary in Virginia Beach, O’Sullivan said. He was being housed in the Chesapeake jail as a courtesy to that city, he said. Edwards was back in Virginia Beach custody Wednesday.

Va Pilot Double standard onn Story involving people tring to kill themselves
Last week the VA Pilot post then delete a story about a man who killed himself at the JDR Court House in Chesapeake, but today they post about an inmate who try to hang himself in Chesapeake Jail. I guess the inmate trying to kill him self make a better story than some one who kills himself in a Courthouse, Whom wasn't an inmate..

Unless things have change alot in Chesapeake Jail, the women have only five to 8 cell blocks in the old section, where the so-call guards/officer do a walk through every hour or so, some times once or twice a shift after serving meals.

Inmate Hangs Himself in Regional Jail
Inmate Hangs Himself in Regional Jail
By Candy Farlow
A man being held in the Eastern Shore Regional Jail in Eastville on charges related to a carjacking and stabbing in Cape Charles last Sunday has committed suicide.
According to Northampton County Sheriff Jack Robbins, Wayne Consepceon Bibbins, 26, of Fairview was found at approximately 11:30 p.m. last Wednesday, hanging in the cell he occupied by himself.
Bibbins had been arrested two days before his death and charged with aggravated malicious wounding, carjacking and robbery in connection with an incident which occurred in Cape Charles Sunday night.
Bibbins was being held with bond denied after being charged by the Cape Charles Police Department.
At the time of Bibbins' arrest, Police Chief David Eder said the investigation into the stabbing was continuing and more arrests would be made.
Well that is strange with a Capital S, Since they have video cameras in the place in front of the cell blocks and on the very top floor of the jail, their are two cells with camera pointed right in them, So I can only guess that someone wasn't doing their job.
I guess its policy to just throw them in a cell and forget about them. Also I going to guess this happen in the old jail, and not the office space that was converted in a jail, which looks likes more of a dog kennel then a jail. But then again this is VA so-call justice at work
