A murderer serving a life sentence in the Lucasville prison wants to be moved from his cellblock because of excessive cigarette smoke. Thirty-year-old Leonard Allen is seeking a federal court order that would force prison officials to move him away from officers and fellow inmates who smoke. He says he wants to be placed in another prison or have officials create a no-smoking cellblock at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility. Prisons spokeswoman Andrea Dean says officials are planning to create a new section at Lucasville that would be declared nonsmoking. Federal courts have ruled that if nonsmoking prisoners are forced to breathe excessive levels of tobacco smoke it can be considered cruel and unusual punishment. |
