On August 8, 2017 a Correctional Officer at the Sterling Correctional Facility was assaulted by offender Angelo Trujillo with a weapon. The assault was quickly stopped by first responders and the staff member was treated for non-life threatening injuries. The offender has since been transferred to another facility as an ongoing investigation of the assault is being completed by the Office of the Inspector General. Department of Corrections Executive Director Rick Raemisch stated, "The Colorado Department of Corrections has a ZERO TOLERANCE policy for violence in our facilities. As part of our Violence Reduction Program, the offenders are told of all the opportunities that we afford them. However, they are also told that we have an agreement with numerous other states who will house them if they are involved in a serious assault of our staff. Our states involvement in the Interstate Compact Agreement allows us to ensure our staff are protected from future assaults, and they will be moved out of this state. We will seek the strictest penalty. " |
