Today, a 25 year old man hung himself in Denver County Jail while awaiting extradition to Kansas for a meth charge. Thomas Allen Barton had just completed a fifteen day sentence for shoplifting. Clearly, Mr. Barton was struggling with personal demons and its unfortunate that either no one saw the warning signs or came to his aid in time.
