COOK COUNTY, IL - Thirteen inmates at the Cook County Jail say that guards severely beat them last month in retaliation for another inmate's alleged attack on a correctional officer, leaving them with black eyes, bruises, chipped teeth and other injuries, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday. The plaintiffs say that they were not involved in the altercation with the guard on Aug. 16, yet were beaten by other correctional officers who responded to the incident. "From the way my clients describe it, it was a jail-guard riot," said Richard Dvorak, attorney for the 13 men. "They just started indiscriminately beating people: Kicking, punching, stomping. Several of these injuries occurred while these inmates were in handcuffs." Read more. If link has expired, check the website of the article's original news source. |
