Two women killed during conjugal visits in California

A second woman has been killed during a conjugal visit at Mule Creek State Prison in California. Tania Thomas, 47, was strangled last July while visiting her husband, Anthony Curry, who is now facing murder charges. Thomas' family is calling for safety reforms at the prison. This tragic incident follows the death of Stephanie Brinson, 62, who also died during a conjugal visit in November. Her husband, David Brinson, has not been charged, and investigations continue to determine the circumstances of her death. Family members are urging the prison to implement stronger safety measures for visitors. They believe that urgent changes are necessary to protect lives during conjugal visits. Thomas had married Curry secretly in 2023 while he was serving time for previous crimes. Conjugal visits, designed to maintain family connections, are restricted to certain inmates. The California Department of Corrections has yet to comment on the recent incidents or the proposed safety reforms.
