More and more information continues to surface with regard to former New England Patriots tight end Aaron Hernandez and recently uncovered letters shed a great deal of light on his mental state. Nestor Ramos of the Boston Globe brings word that Hernandez was essentially begging officials at his prison for different cell arrangements, including the fact that he needed to be paired with fellow inmates that he cherished.
In one letter, dated June 12, 2015, Hernandez wrote to a deputy that he was hoping to be moved to another part of the prison "where I belong." He wrote that he was also requesting to "celly up" with another inmate, whose name is redacted.
The five letters, obtained by the Globe, were authenticated by state officials. In one undated letter, addressed to IPS, the Department of Correction's Inner Perimeter Security unit, Hernandez seeks to dispel what he calls "false gossip," though the nature of the gossip is redacted.
The full report is certainly worth a read, including the fact that an inmate named Kyle Kennedy features prominently. In addition, the Globe report references another letter that speaks in even more specific terms about what Hernandez desired.
In another undated letter, Hernandez wrote that he wanted to move to another part of the prison where "there are two people I know from the streets who I'm close with." In that letter, which was written to an assignment officer, he requested a single cell, but provides the names of two possible cellmates: one, "who is my 'heart,'" and another, who is "kind of like a brother."
Trying to uncover Hernandez's full mental state in advance of his suicide is a big-time challenge but, with every passing day, seemingly more information comes to light.
