Ever fall off the top bunk with a short rope around your neck. Tie a knot in the front, right under your voice box...and you WILL break bones.

Very few people commenting on this have any idea how you die from strangulation in a prison hanging.

Second belly laugh this morning.

You are correct of course “having tried it several times myself”...

That raises other questions.

In this scenario: what did he hang himself with, and what from?

Paper sheets, a blank wall, a no-tear suit.

Couple those facts with no cameras + the sleepiest guards since Macbeth killed his King, and we get clear indication of murder.

Yep. Its easy if one wanted to do it.
Top bunk
Bend knees
Bind feet back to knees
Knotted sheet around neck
Roll off top bunk

Snap, dangle, deed done.

Old time movie technique
Maybe a John Garfield, or early Bogart detective Noir.

Once again, you DON’T die from “strangulation” in a prison hanging if done correctly. Your cervical vertebrae break and dislocate and damage your spinal cord high up leading to death.

That was my thought for an explanation as well, at least for the hyoideal bone. He tied off and jumped off the bed
