Hind County Jail Bodies

Unidentified Bodies Found behind Hind County Jail in Jackson Mississippi

Lento Law Group expresses deep sadness upon learning about the discovery of 215 bodies in a pauper's cemetery near Jackson, Mississippi. Situated just outside of Jackson, these graves are marked solely with metal rods and numbers, indicating that they belong to individuals without known family. However, it has come to light that officials failed to contact the relatives of these deceased individuals, leaving them unaware of their loved ones' final resting place.

For generations, the responsibility of burying those who passed away without financial means or known family has fallen upon local governments. While some coroners and medical examiners diligently search for surviving relatives, utilizing various resources such as internet searches and government databases, others fail to fulfill this crucial duty.

This revelation is disheartening and raises concerns about the lack of communication and transparency in the handling of these burials. Lento Law Group recognizes the importance of providing closure and respect to families who have lost their loved ones, regardless of their financial circumstances.

The firm is committed to advocating for justice and accountability in cases like these, where proper notification and acknowledgment are crucial. Lento Law Group stands with the affected families and supports efforts to ensure that such oversights are not repeated in the future.

It is our hope that through awareness and legal action, the rights and dignity of all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic status, will be upheld and respected.
