Allegations of sexual contact between security officers and female inmates at a private prison in Basile were scheduled to be studied last week by a grand jury. Two prison employees were fired after an internal investigation into the allegations made by female inmates from Alabama who were being held at the South Louisiana Correctional Center. The prison's owner, Lafayette-based LCS Corrections Services, had a contract with Alabama to house the inmates as part of that state's attempt to relieve overcrowding in its own prisons. Evangeline Parish District Attorney Brent Coreil said 22 inmates and several employees from the prison have been called to testify before the grand jury on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. He said not all of the allegations have been substantiated. Coreil said said some of the inmates might be reluctant to cooperate for fear of reprisal, or some might have fabricated claims of sexual contact. "There are differing versions of what happened. That's why it's being brought before a grand jury," Coreil said. "This is going to be a full inquiry into the accusations or lack of basis for the accusations." LCS officials have declined to comment on the case. LCS runs four prisons in Louisiana and two in Texas. |
