Suicide of Rodney Hulin : ウィキペディア英語版 | Suicide of Rodney Hulin
Rodney Hulin, Jr. (March 2, 1978 - May 9, 1996) hanged himself in the Clemens Unit in unincorporated Brazoria County, Texas (Greater Houston) on January 26, 1996 after being raped in prison; Hulin died months after he fatally injured himself. Hulin became a symbol of a movement that advocated not placing juvenile offenders in adult institutions. == Crime and sentence == Hulin entered the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) system after setting trash on fire.〔Qutb, Brina and Laura Stemple. "(Selling a Soft Drink, Surviving Hard Time )." ''San Francisco Chronicle''. Sunday June 9, 2002. Retrieved on January 17, 2010.〕 Hulin produced Molotov cocktails and threw them over a fence, which, according to an incident report, "caused a small fire in a pile of empty cans against the outside wall of the residence." At the time of his arrest, Hulin was one month shy of his 17th birthday thus was considered to a juvenile under Texas law.〔Berryhill, Michael. "What Really Happened To Rodeny Hulin?" ''Houston Press''. August 7, 1997. (3 ). Retrieved on January 17, 2010.〕 A 17-year-old under Texas law is considered to be an adult in the state penal system.〔"(Juvenile or adult? )" Texas Teen Page, Attorney General of Texas. Retrieved on November 18, 2012.〕 The juvenile court debated whether to try Hulin as an adult; the political climate of the mid-1990s in Texas supported the trying of juvenile offenders as adults. After the court system decided to try Hulin as an adult, Hulin learned that he had two choices if he took a plea agreement for two charges of second-degree arson. He could enroll in boot camp and probation, and would receive two 15 year sentences if he failed. He could also take eight years in prison with the possibility of parole in two years. Hulin chose the latter option.〔Berryhill, Michael. "What Really Happened To Rodeny Hulin?" ''Houston Press''. August 7, 1997. (4 ). Retrieved on January 17, 2010.〕 Hulin spent six months in the Randall County Jail in Amarillo, Texas and three months in the Middleton Unit in Abilene, Texas. He did not report any major problems while incarcerated in the two institutions.〔Berryhill, Michael. "What Really Happened To Rodeny Hulin?" ''Houston Press''. August 7, 1997. (1 ). Retrieved on January 17, 2010.〕 Hulin was scheduled to be transferred from the unit since Middleton was a unit for testing prisoners so they could be classified to go to permanent prison facilities.〔
