Something similar has happened before. The "Baton Rouge" madam Sylvia Landry was found dead in her prison cell in 1995, only a month after being sentenced to 6 years in prison. She "committed suicide" by hanging herself. The prison camera pointed at her cell was mysteriously turned off on that fateful night. The contents of the black book she kept detailing her clients (which she had been threatening to release to the public) will never be known.

The story about Sylvia was on a City Confidential episode that aired years ago.
