Lifesaving efforts for ‘unlocked’ inmate John ‘Eastside’ McAllister

McAllister, who appeared in Netflix’s controversial prison documentary series Unlocked: A Prison Experiment, was transported by ambulance to a Pine Bluff hospital, which we learned was Jefferson Regional Medical Center, where he was pronounced dead at 8:50 a.m. He was 29.

Suicide or foul play is not suspected, RadarOnline.com has confirmed, as Arkansas State Police continue to investigate his death. Previous reports indicated he was found dead in his cell.

McAllister was serving a three-year prison sentence, which he began last August, out of Pulaski County for 10 felony convictions, including drugs, burglary, theft of property and firearms possession.
