Manage episode 438341117 series 95357
Several jail guards currently employed at Rikers Island have been accused of raping and sexually assaulting detainees, and city officials do not appear to be investigating the claims – a violation of federal guidelines and the city’s own rules for handling sexual misconduct allegations against correction officers.
A new Gothamist investigation shows that at least five guards currently employed by the Department of Correction are among those named in more than 700 lawsuits filed against the city by people who say they were raped and sexually abused while jailed at Rikers.
