A history of violence

An inmate reached out to us after getting in a fight with another inmate. Both had previously been involved in physical altercations with each other, and should have been placed in separate units within the facility to prevent further ones.

Result: Our Office spoke with senior staff at the facility, who determined that the appropriate notice about the pair’s previous fights had not been entered into their tracking system. As a result of our work, a notice was sent to all staff reminding them of their obligations to promptly and properly input security notifications.
