Former Charlotte Teacher Found Dead in North Carolina Prison; Inmate Charged with Murder<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ernest Nichols, 60, a former Charlotte physical education teacher, was found dead in his cell at Greene Correctional Institution on October 5. Nichols was serving a 15-year sentence for statutory rape and was scheduled for release in 2027. Prison staff discovered him unresponsive around 6:50 a.m., and despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at 7:22 a.m.<\/p>\n

Two days later, inmate Wilbert Baldwin, 41\u2014already serving time for a 2010 second-degree murder conviction\u2014was charged with Nichols\u2019 murder and is being held without bond. Both inmates were housed in the same section of the facility.<\/p>\n

Nichols had been suspended without pay from Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools in 2009 following misconduct allegations and was convicted in 2011. His death adds to ongoing concerns over violence within North Carolina prisons.<\/p>\n

Authorities continue to investigate the case and urge anyone affected by sexual abuse to seek support through the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE (4673) or online at online.rainn.org.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
