25 Maryland correctional officers have been indicted for allegedly using excessive force on prisoners at state-operated jails in Baltimore, officials say.
In 2015, Maryland closed the men’s section of a state-run Baltimore jail that was notorious for its decrepit conditions, criminal activity and corruption. In 2013, a federal indictment exposed a sophisticated smuggling ring operating inside the Baltimore City Detention Center, involving dozens of gang members and correctional officers. The investigation also revealed that a jailhouse gang leader had impregnated four female guards..
The indicted officers face a combined total 236 counts, including charges of assault and participating in a criminal gang, Mosby said. Mosby said the officers used violence and intimidation to “maintain its dominance and its operational territory” inside the jails. The indictment includes alleged offenses against 25 prisoners and incidents that occurred as far back as 2016, authorities said.
