U.S. District Court Judge Gary Brown ruled that 74-year-old tax fraudster Daniel Colucci will avoid prison time if the Bureau of Prisons designates Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) as his facility, citing the jail's "dangerous, barbaric conditions" in a decision published on Monday.
Judge Brown discussed incidents at the Sunset Park jail, including a recent video-recorded stabbing that exposed the chronic lack of supervision and medical care at the facility.
The judge highlighted the severity of the conditions at the MDC with specific examples, such as a stabbing incident where a correction officer arrived late into a three-on-one assault, and fatalities due to violence.
Judge Brown emphasized the deteriorating state of affairs at the MDC, pointing to instances of catastrophic violence including homicides, stabbings, and severe assaults, leading to a fractured eye socket.
