Inmate Death Notification

Tucson, Ariz. – Inmate Carlo Krakoff, 36, ADC #253282, was found unresponsive in his housing unit Sunday. He was pronounced dead by medical responders.

Krakoff, sentenced out of Maricopa County, was serving 13 years for armed robbery. He came to ADC May 7, 2010 and was housed at ASPC-Tucson’s Santa Rita Unit.
The death is under investigation by the department.

----------------------------------------------------

Carlo was a child actor, whose parents pleaded in his criminal case (he was convicted of robbing multiple pharmacies for oxycodone) for drug treatment, not prison...here's his facebook, with a photo of him as a kid. Our condolences to his family. Please feel free to contact me if I can be of any support to you through this difficult time. Many survivors of prison violence (suicide, homicide, and abuse/neglect) have begun organizing to support eachother and change things. Carlo's family is more than welcome, whatever the circumstances of his death.

Take care,
