Quote:NY prison under investigation after guards allegedly beat prisoners in ‘honor section’ for good behavior
Quote:Authorities are investigating allegations that guards beat and abused dozens of inmates in an upstate New York prison after the daring escape of two convicted killers in June, state corrections officials said on Tuesday.
The Department of Corrections and Community Supervision said it had been investigating for several weeks the allegations of prisoner abuse at the Clinton Correctional Center, which were first reported in the New York Times on Tuesday.
Prisoners left behind in the so-called honor section of the prison, reserved for inmates with good behavior including Richard Matt and David Sweat before their June 6 escape, described “being beaten while handcuffed, choked, and slammed against cell bars and walls,” the Times reported. The newspaper said it had reviewed letters and conducted prison interviews.

Quote:A private-prison riot last month near Kingman that destroyed living quarters and injured 16 people was ignited after weeks of guards mistreating inmates, those with knowledge of the melee alleged in interviews with The Arizona Republic.
Pinal County Sheriff Paul Babeu and Navajo County Sheriff Kelly “KC” Clark said in separate interviews that state inmates who were removed from the private prison and housed temporarily in their jails complained of poor treatment at the Arizona State Prison Complex-Kingman.
