Maryland Settles Inmate’s Excessive Force Lawsuit

BALTIMORE (AP) — The state of Maryland has settled a lawsuit alleging correctional officers brutalized an inmate who insulted a nurse at the maximum-security North Branch Correctional Institution near Cumberland in 2012.

The attorney general’s office said Tuesday the settlement with inmate Wayne Boone is far below the $10,000 level that would require Board of Public Works approval. Spokesman David Nitkin wouldn’t disclose the exact amount.

Boone’s lawyer declined to comment.

  2. a better solution would be to stop doing the things that lead to a lawsuit in the first place. which would include making the person doing said things partly responsible for any monies to be paid out and up to including termination of employment.

  3. I support the correctional officers. Maybe 11:41am should spend some time in jail.
