  unidentified persons
what does this even mean ? did the person refuse to say who they are ? so the person has been tried and sentenced and put in jail and filed under a picture. so you can put anybody in jail, deny him any contact with external world and claim he's unidentified ?

> These persons are either homeless people, inmates from local jails who died but relatives never claimed their bodies, unidentified persons who officials were never able to connect with family, or even persons who died" whose families couldn't afford a funeral.

"Inmates from local jails" and "unidentified persons" are separate categories.
