Maryland Corrections Officers Fired
HAGERSTOWN, Md. (AP) — Court documents show that a state prison inmate who was beaten by correctional officers in March was injured so badly that he was unrecognizable.
The documents also allege that 42-year-old Kenneth Davis was beaten in four different attacks over a 24-hour period at the Roxbury Correctional Institution.
Several correctional officers were fired, and others have been charged with second-degree assault for their roles in the March 2008 attacks.
The documents also indicate that one of those officers, Lucas Kelley, initially withheld information about the attacks but later testified against his former colleagues.
The documents were filed in connection with a hearing for an officer who’s appealing his firing
