An Alabama inmate who died following an alleged attack by prison officers was hurt so severely his body was covered with deep bruises, his face was swollen and at least one tooth was missing, according to medical records obtained by The Associated Press. Rocrast D. Mack, 24, had a traumatic brain injury and was unresponsive when he arrived at a hospital in Troy after being injured last August at a south Alabama prison, the medical records show. He never regained consciousness after being transported to a Montgomery hospital where he died. Mack's family filed a civil suit this week seeking an unspecified amount of damages in his death. Despite his condition, the records show, at least one prison officer remained with Mack while he was in the hospital, apparently for security. State personnel records obtained by the AP also show a female officer was the first to strike Mack and that she and a second officer attempted to cover up what happened. The records do not indicate what happened before the assault or where in the prison it occurred. Read More. |
