CANTON, Ohio— Don Ackerman was checking on some vacant homes that his church is refurbishing when a 6-year-old boy in the neighborhood began talking about how gunfire doesn’t frighten him. “My mom tells me to stay back, because gunshots can go through the wall,” the boy said, standing in his yard strewn with bikes and toys on a recent October afternoon. “I don’t get scared at all. They’re not very loud.”

The Louisville, Ky., corrections department was recommended earlier this year to reduce its use of isolation cells to help prevent inmate suicides. Suicides in prisons and jails across the U.S. have risen sharply over the past two years, data collected by The Wall Street Journal show, a trend that officials and inmate advocates say is driven in part by the increased isolation of inmates during the pandemic, more abuse of drugs including fentanyl and staff shortages. In the Texas prison system last year, 61 inmates took their own lives, the most in two decades. In Louisiana, 13 state prison inmates died by suicide from January 2021 through the beginning of October, more than triple the number during the prior three years combined. Kentucky prisons have seen six suicides so far in 2022, compared with one last year.

Stanley Patrick Weber, seen arriving at the federal courthouse in 2017 in Rapid City, S.D., is now serving a lifetime sentence in federal prison. The U.S. government reached a deal with victims of a pedophile doctor who sexually assaulted Native American boys for decades at federal hospitals in Montana and South Dakota, people familiar with the matter said. Under the terms of the deal, the government would pay between $1.5 million and $2 million to each of eight victims to settle claims that federal officials ignored or tolerated the abuse, some of the people said. In total, the government would pay the victims about $14.5 million, one of the people said.
