Violence will not be tolerated in our federal jails," U.S. Attorney Breon Peace said in a statement. "These criminal charges should serve as a warning to those who would engage in criminal conduct behind bars, and anyone else who facilitates those crimes: your conduct will be exposed, and you will be held accountable. It is a step towards addressing the violence and dysfunction that have plagued the Metropolitan Detention Center."
This case underscores the alarming state of affairs at the Metropolitan Detention Center, where, in rapid succession, inmates engaged in violent conduct using makeshift weapons to settle disputes, leading to multiple serious injuries and fatalities.
