NEW ERA

On Nov. 17, the first of a series appeared entitled “Investigative series: A pattern of prison abuse?” concerning a history of incidents of alleged prisoner abuse at the County Prison.

WATCHDOG: NewsLanc broke the story the prior Thursday with “County Warden sued in Federal Court for inmate abuse” and was preparing its own investigation of the prison. The New Era series is off to a good start, so the Watchdog will simply monitor from the sidelines.
