Teresa Henderson’s son, Steven Kidd Jr., died on Sept. 12 inside Jackson Correctional Institution in Malone, Florida. A prison chaplain called on a Saturday to notify the family of his death, Henderson recalled. She said the chaplain told them that Kidd had died alone in his cell in the middle of the night and that the case was under investigation.
Henderson was shocked by the news. Kidd died just nine days before he was set to be released, she noted. He had called her a few days before his death, imagining the life waiting for him on the outside.
“After calling there so many times and them telling me it was under investigation and not telling me any details of what was going on,” she said, “I felt suspicious.”
