Three prison guards who made comments on Facebook about using force against an inmate no longer work for the prison system, the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services said Thursday. Director Robert Houston said in the release that he has no reason to believe criminal charges will be filed, though that will be determined by the Lancaster County Attorney's Office. But an internal investigation concluded staff members did use force against an inmate at the Nebraska State Penitentiary on Feb. 8, the release said. Corrections policy directs staff to record any interaction with inmates that may lead to use of force. A medical assessment and a statement from the inmate are also documented following use of force. None of the information culled from those documentations regarding the February incident revealed abuse, according to the release. "The Department of Correctional Services takes this matter very seriously," Houston said in the release. "Inappropriate actions by our staff or statements which could lead to dangerous situations in our prison system are not tolerated." Read More. |
