MI: State to pay $80M to settle sex abuse cases… where it’s own guards are the perpetrators
The state of Michigan has more “sex offense” issues to deal with and it’s not because of sex offenders on their registry, it’s because of their own prison guards.
In 2009, the state settled a 1996 case, Neal v. Michigan Department of Corrections, in which female prisoners alleged a pattern of sexual misconduct and harassment by male officers for $100,000,000.
Today, state officials announced that Michigan will pay $80 million to settle a lawsuit with former juvenile offenders who claimed they were sexually abused in Michigan prisons.
The state is spending so much time and resources digging their heels in order to violate the constitutional rights of people who may have committed old sex offenses, that they can’t monitor their own employees to prevent them from committing new ones.

I spent 10 years in prison and boy did I see some things the guards were doing with the inmates. Sometimes the guards did not care if you saw them and would bring you canteen items if you did, just to keep you quiet. I have one guard that would bring me 2 boiled eggs every morning that he worked. Sex will always be in prisons somehow someway!!!
