Rushville, Indiana – Rush County Sheriff Allen Rice asked the Indiana State Police to look into the death of a Rush County Prison inmate on Friday morning.
When a fatality happens inside a correctional facility, it is standard procedure for the Indiana State Police to handle the investigation.

Michele Britt, a 45-year-old prisoner, was named.
Due to his public intoxication and drunk driving convictions, Britt was currently serving time.
