It turns out the officer who terrorized eric… the man who took him into the shower is in his underwear and broke his head open while handcuffed… Was hired by the government after being a partially responsible for a murder and subsequently losing his job as a Nebraska sergeant. It was commonplace for this man to use cell assignments as a way of extra discipline in Englewood. In fact Eric has a write-up from Gustafson for refusing an opposing gang cellmate (they classified Eric as affiliated being anti-fascist so they can’t give him gang cellmates it is against separate regulations).
So the BOP saw… This man lost his job in Nebraska for using the segregation unit as a way to terrorize prisoners ultimately leading to a blatantly unnecessary death. And they said hold my beer 😂 do we have a unit for you to work. And placed him in the segregation unit at FCI Englewood. They were all complacent in his abuse when they refused to take reports regarding his attempted assaults and harassment leading up to the horrific incident in the showers.
One of the write-ups that ended up being a part of Eric’s ADX placement involved this officer. The federal prosecutor knowing what he did to Eric still brought him to back to Denver to testify in an attempt to convict Eric of false charges of assault against an officer.
The kicker is seemingly even after this lawsuit settled he is still employed with the Bureau of prisons. Was even given an out of state transfer. Wonder what it takes to lose your job as a federal prison guard 🤷♀️
