Two people have sued a Florida company that operates a detention center in Washington state, alleging officers beat or sexually harassed them while they were being held on immigration charges. The lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court alleges that officers working for the Sarasota-based Correctional Services Corp. at the Northwest Detention Center handcuffed 22-year-old Jose Mancilla Gutierrez on July 5, threw him to the floor and pushed him repeatedly against a wall, chipping his tooth. The suit claims that dozens of inmates said they saw the alleged assault on Mancilla, but warden George Wigen and immigration enforcement officer George Morones ruled three days later that guards had not used excessive force. The lawsuit also contends that Marisela Manzo Torres, 27, was sexually harassed when officers brushed against her breasts, shined a flashlight on her body and made sexual comments to her over an intercom in her cell. The Department of Homeland Security's inspector general's office is investigating that complaint, Morones said. Five officers and officers are also named as defendants in the suit. Correctional Services runs 13 federal adult detention centers and prisons and 19 juvenile centers around the United States. The company operates the Washington facility for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency, according to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. |
