Prison guards cook prisoner to death

The civil lawsuit describes Rainey as a “mentally ill man” who was diagnosed with schizophrenia, which “impaired... Rainey’s major life activities.”

Rainey was locked up for cocaine possession, but according to the civil lawsuit, he was also riddled with mental health issues. Rainey was on psychotropic medication “to manage his mental illness” and was having an episode, the lawsuit says, when he was creating chaos.

“Rainey was disheveled and had poor functioning, distorted thinking, and was smearing feces all over his cell,” the lawsuit said, adding days later he smeared his feces all over his cell and also on himself. It was a “manifestation of his serious mental illness.”

Instead of following protocol and notifying mental health staffers to intervene, the lawsuit contends the two correctional officers resorted to “torture and retaliated against a mentally ill inmate on the unit.”
It’s called “shower treatment.” A specific shower stall was apparently “altered or broken” and sprayed “scalding hot water” in a locked area where inmates “cannot control the pre-set water or the water temperature.”

How long an inmate is kept in the shower is determined by the omnipresent guards, the lawsuit states.

“Once placed inside, inmates cannot leave the shower unless released by the officers.”

On this day it was allegedly Rainey’s turn to get the shower treatment.

With Rainey defecating and not in his right mind, Officers Clarke and Thompson “maliciously and sadistically turned on scalding hot water in Rainey’s shower in retaliation for [his] smearing feces on his body and cell,” the lawsuit claims.

The guards apparently taunted Rainey but, according to fellow inmate Mark Joiner, they disregarded Rainer’s screams, before taunting him. “He was crying, ‘Please stop, please stop, please stop,’” Joiner told the Herald.

The last words Rainey ever heard were said to be, “Enjoy your shower.”

Shrieks and screams from Rainey were ignored as he boiled for two hours, the lawsuit claims.

Finally, nurses discovered Rainey “lying on his back on the shower floor” and he was “non-responsive, had no pulse and had no respirations,” he lawsuit says. Nurses tried to resuscitate Rainey, to no avail.

After he was removed, Rainey’s fellow inmate Joiner told the Herald he was handed a bottle of Clorox bleach and told to scoop up “large chunks of human skin.”

I don't want to disrupt your conspiracy theory thread, but this is interesting (being that your dead hero was a coke head).


VITAL SIGNS: SYMPTOMS; Cocaine and Its Sneaky Heat

By Eric Nagourney

Published: June 4, 2002

Cocaine overdose deaths have often been linked to the drug's ability to raise the body temperature through a jolt to the metabolism. But a study released yesterday reports that it is more complicated than that.

Not only does cocaine raise the body temperature, researchers wrote in The Annals of Internal Medicine, it also diminishes the body's ability to cool itself down. It even makes it hard for users to tell that they are overheating and, perhaps, take steps to stop it, like seeking a cooler location.

''It really is a double-edged sword,'' said the lead author, Dr. Craig G. Crandall of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center.

Even small amounts of cocaine, the researchers found, impair the body's ability to detect an increase in temperature and reduce its ability to cool down through sweating and the dilation of blood vessels near the skin.

Are you for real? The dude was mentally ill and was scalded for 2 hours. Cocaine may raise the body temp, but it does not scald the outer skin.

:plain: How about we just not scald people to death ... unless of course you wish to pretend that the drugs were responsible for burning his skin off.

The guy was a coke head and was eventually going to die due to his lifestyle. Sorry, but I don't get overly excited about these kind of stories.

On a related note: Are you by chance from Ron Paul's district in Texas? (please say yes).

Manslaughter at best. Your hero defecated on his cell floor, refused to clean it up (that obviously would be a violation of his constitutional rights) and was locked in the shower.

You be concerned with these kind of incidents, I'll be concerned with the drug addicts like your hero out on the streets (or in this case in the home) robbing, raping and murdering innocent people.

What are you doing in a drug thread Aaron? Oh, that's right, if drugs were legal these kinds of things wouldn't happen.

well, yeah, actually

he sowed what he reaped - he may not have expected it and the prison guards (if the story is true) should not have done it, but there you are

No Aaron, he was yet another victim of a Judeo Christian society that incarcerates innocent people based on their skin color.

He deserved to be incarcerated. He didn't deserve to be cooked alive in the shower.

That's not justice. :nono:
