Current and former teen inmates who sued Michigan’s Department of Corrections for allegedly allowing them to be raped and sexually assaulted behind bars have been subjected to retaliation and further abuse from state employees, their attorneys say in court documents. In a new lawsuit filed this week, the 12 John Doe plaintiffs allege all manner of reprisals against them — from corrections officers identifying them to other prisoners as both assault victims and as plaintiffs to the confiscation and destruction of evidence and personal items.

John Doe 1, who was first incarcerated as a 17-year-old, claims his participation in the lawsuit led to corrections officers at Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility to target him.
