Ariel Castro, a former 53 year old school bus driver was found dead in his jail cell on September 3, 2013. He had hung himself using his bed sheets from the cell. Castro was housed is protective custody, meaning he was alone in a cell unlike others who have a group of criminals in a cell. Although guards were passing by his cell every 30 minutes he somehow managed to end his life in between. He didn't leave any note or information about why he did this. Prosecutors are calling him a coward to have done this. He wasn't even in jail for a month.
The reason behind all of this as to why Castro was in jail was for kidnapping three women, a 14, 16, and a 20 year old. His victims names were Amanda Berry, Gina Dejesus, and Michelle Knight. According to police reports Amanda Berry kicked open a door while Castro was not at the house. All three women were missing for ten years. The reports of these missing women went out in 2002. Immediately after the three women broke out of the house, Berry called the police and told them where they were and that they were missing for ten years but now they are safe and free.
These three women were always chained up, raped every day, only had one meal a day, and could only shower once or twice a week in cold water. Knight was food deprived and forcefully beaten just so she could miscarry her that was produced while she was being raped.
In my opinion with all of this is Castro is a coward and a monster. what he did was wrong in so many levels. He got out of what he did easily. It's too bad that he wasn't treated the way he treated those three innocent women.
