At about 10:15 PM, while Mick was taking clean baby bottles to the maternity wing, 16-year-old Jennie McMinn was able to force open and squeeze through a hinged window in her cell door. Then, using a spoon that she had smuggled from the cafeteria, she forced the lock on a second inmate's cell. The two of them waited while a third complained loudly about a water leak in her cell. As Mick was opening the third inmate's cell to investigate, she was jumped from behind by the two lying in wait. She was beaten, throttled, and dragged to a small utility room and tied to pipes while unconscious. The next morning, she was found dead when the next shift came on duty, still tied spread-eagle to the pipes. The official cause of death was ruled as assault.
