Video of teen girl in jail being beaten

It can be argued that girls have a tougher time in jails and prisons than males. There are numerous correctional officers that feel the need to show their dominance and power over inmates.

Take, for instance, the below video on YouTube which shows a teen girl in jail in King County, Washington. The abusive deputy was caught on tape. (Press the Play button even if you don't see the video screen.)

The surveillance video shows the deputy kicking a young girl, slamming her to the cell floor and striking her repeatedly. The deputy grabs her by the hair to take her out of the room.

The deputy pled not guilty in the case. (Feb. 27, 2009)

Florida prison sergeant gets 3 years for pouring scalding water on inmate

A former Florida Department of Corrections sergeant was sentenced Monday to three years in prison for assaulting an inmate at Raiford by pouring a bottle of scalding water on his chest.

A federal jury in Jacksonville convicted Paul Gregory Tillis of Lake Butler in January of depriving inmate Jerry Williams of his civil rights by causing second-degree burns while the prisoner laid on the floor of his cell. Tillis, 44, also failed to seek medical attention for Williams after the assault, the U.S. Justice Department said.

At the time, Tillis was working as a supervisory corrections officer at Florida State Prison in a wing for inmates who posed discipline problems. He said he poured the water through the food flap of Williams’ cell to determine whether Williams was faking an injury.
