Investigators found that 28 guards and prison officers committed offenses in the mishap that allowed a gay inmate to be housed in the same cell as an abuser.
The maximum-security USP Florence facility in Florence, Colo., in 1995. By Eli Rosenberg Eli Rosenberg General assignment reporter covering national and breaking news Email Bio Follow May 21 at 7:00 AM The stepmother of inmate Alec Arapahoe called the prison facility where he was incarcerated to relay a message. It was early August 2014.
The brutal beating and multiple rapes that ensued afterward, according to Arapahoe, form the basis of the complaint he filed against 29 prison officials — mostly guards — from the facility. That was when Arapahoe called his stepmother, Meg Bishop, who passed word of the threats to prison officials. An inmate investigation report said Mexican claimed Arapahoe would have issues if he returned to the yard. Still, officers said Arapahoe was “deceitful” over the course of their investigation and that “no verifiable threat” existed.
Arapahoe’s first cellmate at USP Florence was another inmate who threatened to harm him because of his sexual orientation, according to the complaint. That night, Arapahoe was raped and forced to perform oral sex on Mexican, according to the complaint. That night, Mexican assaulted him again outside the shower, according to the complaint. His blood covered the walls and the floor; Mexican ordered him to clean it up, the complaint says.
“Go find the plea agreement and find what he pleaded guilty to,” Stanton said in a brief phone interview.
