November 04, 2010 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Contrary to popular belief, inmate abuse is not a thing of the past.

Correctional facilities such as Rikers Island Prison have recently landed in the news for the egregious inmate abuse occurring within their walls.

Three other prison guards will soon stand trial for their roles as corrupt officials at the Robert N. Davoren Center, a complex within the Rikers Island facility.

Denise Albright, of Manhattan, faces charges of assault and conspiracy for her alleged role in abusing prisoners. Read More. |
