The state Department of Corrections is in the process of completing an investigation into the policies and procedures at Lackawanna County Prison, department spokeswoman Susan Bensinger said Monday. The Lackawanna County Prison Board sent a formal request to investigate to the department last month after the Aug. 8 assault of inmate Nicholas Pinto, who police said had his head stomped on at least 15 times by another inmate, Michael Simonson, who should not have had access to him. No date has been set for completing the review, Ms. Bensinger said. In the meantime, Mr. Pinto has been moved out of Northeast Pennsylvania.

Rogan, who confirmed Mr. Pinto remains in a coma. Read More. |
