Cellmate: "Ain't none of my business"

Graves said he contacted then-Captain Jermaris Porter, and the two entered Echo Unit, where the smell of decomposition led them to a cell. Inside, he said, one inmate sat on the lower bunk eating and watching television while another lay motionless above him. Graves said he attempted chest compressions to revive the man.
