Ramona man found dead in bunk at George Bailey Prison

A 38-year-old Ramona man was found dead in his bunk at a San Diego jail Sunday.

Sheriff’s officials found Majid Arif Almajid unresponsive in his cell at the George Bailey Detention Center around 11:15 a.m.

Officials said prison officers and medical staff attempted to revive Almajid, as did paramedics.

Almajid was arrested Dec. 20 by the U.S. Marshals Service Fugitive Task Force on multiple counts of sexual abuse of a child 10 years old or younger. He was booked into San Diego Central Jail and transferred to the George Bailey Detention Facility six days later.

The coroner’s office will determine the cause and manner of Almajid’s death. The sheriff’s homicide unit was investigating.
