Former inmate talks about NY prison guard attack, abuse

- In 2016, dozens of New York prison guards and their supervisors brutally attacked a dorm full of unsuspecting inmates - punching, kicking and sodomizing prisoners and destroying their personal items - as misguided revenge for a suspected attack on a corrections officer that never happened, a judge ruled this month. Cole Bryant is one of the claimants in a lawsuit against the guards. Video by Matt Burkhartt

The real problem is that nobody is monitoring the correctional officers. State Legislators need to quit allowing prison staff members to govern and monitor themselves.
And it needs to be a federal law, stop allowing these abusers & killers to "resign" in the midst of developing cases. Ridiculous.
In a New York state you never can tell where those cameras are
Good point
Agree. A " civilian ,third party oversite board " is needed to investigate police/ CO misconduct..
They refuse to monitor the white racists. It’s intentional.
Those guards need to be in prison in general pop!!!!
Yeeeeessss
That’s what I was thinking as well
So why didn’t you all fight back????
This kind of thing happens in every jail and every prison in this country, I've only been to jail a handful of times and I've seen cops do exactly what this guy just described. Coming out of the pod and stealing items intentionally starting fights within mates cause he has an Army of people that it can call
@@markupton1831 Because they would all be given life without parole
Correctional officers have been doing this for years. They’ve abused inmates and even gone as far as to get more time added to the inmates sentences by framing them. Hold these COs accountable!!!!
And im sure all those inmates are innocent right?
The system in its entirety is Corrupt 😮
The question is how many times did these officers do this before without being caught?😢😢😢
It is common.
Been happening for many years since the 1700 s and will continue until the system is fully restored.
This happens daily in upstate ny prisons.
@@jesusalejandro9457 id say "countless" times. Notice how comfortable and familiar with the process they were! What they did was first degree murder
That certainly wasn’t their first rodeo.
No charges? This is an outrage
This is worse than Rodney King.
This man is in prison....what charges? Stoled a candy bar?
Why weren't criminal charges brought?
holkul is a racist. fact.
Because it wasn’t recorded
Because this is the way America IS. And has ALWAYS BEEN. Stop pretending you don't know that!
The FBI will investigate and most likely bring charges and with that prison sentences for the officers involved.
@assconnazi l hope so.
The officers are more criminal than the ones they're in charge of, they're disgusting from the top to the bottom
Those “thugs” were probably high fiving each other prior to beating the prisoners. It’s really a horrible thing to do. SMH
murricca
Is cult members all you see is whites Co
And how about the child molesters that get killed by other inmates in prison?
Does your heart bleed for them too?
How about the murderers?
Them too?
Prison immediately
I feel for the men who are currently incarcerated for a crime they didn’t commit, thank you innocence project for helping the innocent .
Cool! It’s about 1%. You have a big heart.
This is because we have politicians that do not care and the privatization of prisons that are focus more on profit s and greed rather than the rehabilitation of people in prison and there safety
Easy way to avoid all that.
Dont go to prison
Correctional office just beat inmates for nothing because they have anger management
Oh no. It goes wAy beyond anger.
@@ginadellgrottaglia6897steroids
Not making excuses but it is a difficult job. They are going into a very hostile work environment. Job isn't for everyone.
So what, those inmates beat up innocent people in the street for their anger management.
@@Haqqseeker40 It's not that difficult
Sick, sick, sick
These prison guards have those jobs with no love of God or people.
They bring their hate, insecurities and daily problems to the job to inflict pain and abuse their "power" on inmates they deem are worthless.
Why mixing The Almighty into this ? If you have so much love for these Angels you should take a couple of them to live with you , bet you will change your tune right away 😂
Shalom man of valour @@RagnarRobledoand many blessings to you and to your beautiful family.
This precious soul is saying that prison guards are accountable for protecting human life and they are responsible for restoring order in those environments. They are not suppose to be adding disorder and destructive behaviors to them. They are responsible for maintaining a character that helps to create room for prisoners to experience a form of rehabilitation in their character.
In other words, they are suppose to be upstanding models before those who have compromised their value through destructive behavior patterns.
They are suppose to bring the kind of impact into those places that help to bring positive and constructive change, especially in the lives of those who are incarcerated.
GOD Bless you and Shalom unto you and to your beautiful family.

no problem taxpayers will pay for this lawsuit.
He deserves compensation it should come out everyone involves pockets and warden
So happy your speaking out it's good therapy, it's going on across the Country 😢.
If enough evidence is available, then those prison officers need to face a court trial. ASAP. And if found guilty, prison with no exceptions.
IF found guilty? IF? ..Listen to yourself. We know they are guilty, yet the judicial system here is rigged so most who are in fact guilty get away with it, while those who look a certain way get offed for sometimes nothing at all or for the same crime or a lesser crime than their wyte counterparts. The system you are looking to to bring these wicked CO's to justice is the SAME system that sets up the atrocities in the first place.😢
How are people supposed to be rehabilitated with psychotic behavior from those in charge. Everyone makes mistakes no one deserves to be tortured.
No one?
You sure about that?
It really is sad for the ones who are in prison who are innocent of any crime !
Horrible. Just Horrible! Nobody deserve this treatment. Nobody!
The sad part of this is,they will probably be acquitted if there trials are in that same county
Enough is enough. The correction officers are worse than criminals. How do they get away with this
It’s time that the prison crime be addressed.
These people are dark spirits . The Bible says Out of the abundance of the heart comes evil, murder. I’ll be glad when our brothers stay out of places like this.
Just like some of the people that are in prison that rape kill etc there are bad people on both sides.
@ agreed but corrections officers should not be murdering inmates that pose no threat.
@donnaharris9022 I don't call anyone who doesn't worriship the most high my brother anyway that's just me though
@ I hear you but the Book of Ephesians tells us that God Almighty views them as sons of disobedience, just as we all once were.
It also states an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth.
Those correctional officers are disgusting. Karma will get them all.
THIS PRISONER IS ALSO DISGUSTING, IN PRISON FOR SODOMY
I’m sorry, my brother. We all criminals up in here.
prove it
Living under the stress of being messed with constantly is cruel and inhumane.
Why no murder charges?
Is see terrorists
A lot of you people kill me like they never did anything wrong….so since I do wrong I go to prison the Co can do anything to me because I’m in jail GTFOH…..
Man's inhumanity to man.
Since Cain and Abel.
Sick.
Exactly. These criminals TRAMATIZE people long before they even get caught. Especially Black families etc. This is Karma.
@Datboicoast He was tried and found guilty by a JURY of his Peers and sentence by a JUDGE. There is no where CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS an arm of the STATE play any role in administering justice, no beatings, no denial of necessities of life (Water, Food and Medicine). The are there to keep you in, maintain order until you serve your time. If he was sentence to Death there is someone to carry out the task. Innocent people get put in Jail also. Who authorized them to kill the prisoner? Not the Judge, Mayor or Governor. Your condoning their actions speaks volumes about you and everyone else like you, what makes you different from the man they murdered? Your heart is as wicked as his and the men who murdered him, the state of NY committed a murder.
You are the problem. Law is the law. No use of having the law if the the person wearing the badge isn’t going to follow it.They are held to a higher standard because they said they want that authority. If they abuse it then they shall be punished. The only difference between you and the person in Jail/prison is that you haven’t been caught and convicted. Because no one is perfect the first once who says they are is differently suspect in my book.
its sickening when a black thug kills a young white child its swept under the rug.. OH but when white officers beat a black convicted prisoner to death, it makes headlines news and the people demand justice... PATHETIC!!
They stomped us with their feet
How else do they stomp ? With elbows ?
@alsson3137 it's good to make a joke but it's one a joke when we were 13 and 14 getting the s*** beat out of us by people that supposed to be disciplined us and then you wonder how we turn out or what it made us hope nobody your family don't ever go through what we went through cuz they wouldn't be able to survive so I'm glad I can look back over my life and see what I have came from but remember this maybe your nephew your son or maybe your sister's son may end up in prison and what will happen to him will it be funny then
It goes on every day. And Albany does nothing about it.They allow it to happen.They take the officer side.
I did 22 years in NYS prison and the public really has no idea about the brutality that goes on.
He's lying what are u going to receive from this revenge closure karma we get u for having hate and anger in your heart
What would he get out of lying? These things, according to many, are a common occurrence in prison are the country!
Attention and self pity
HE WAS IN PRISON FOR SODOMY, JUST GOOGLE HIM
I thought i was watching Shawshank redemption , then i realised we are in 2024 not 1954.
@@smilebehappy6102 That is shocking.
Stay out of prison
Who says this someone bloody stupid ! Not everyone is prison is their for murder. It doesn’t mean you can get tortured and killed . Grow up
You never get abuse in prison if you don’t commit crimes and go to jail so who cares about you.😂😂
What low life uneducated stupid ignorant thing to say
That stuff is not new and has happened thousands of times. In this situation, the hoods came off.
Just imagine all those cops and correctional officer had done this and the people in charge of them and judges and d a prostecuter are in it as well
An inmate with an opinion on how jail should be run.....
Go get your shinebox 😂😆
Well,if the people who are supposed to be running the prisons properly are doing the jobs they get paid to do...then expect the inmates to have something to say. Right, wrong, or indifferent, they are all still human beings and they have rights.
If you don’t share the opinion that inmates should not be beaten and raped by guards, you’re the f’n problem, and the inmates are far better than you
Hey genius believe it or not the inmates do 85% of the officers job so if u never been in prison u might want to sit this one out
Hey Governor ur Correction Commissioner should bep fired
Audience, I really don't understand the outrage. This conduct is normal and will not change. This is the United States. I am certainly not schocked or surprised. Good that the incident was captured on camera.
What have all your inmates done and now you want to talk about how they're treating you guys, what about the victims.
Many are incarcerated without proof or cause, some 100,000 or more!
Number one, they're already serving their time number two once you do something as in put on a uniform and swear an oath you're held to a higher standard number three people like you.I can tell never had no real job when you say dumb stuff like this
they need to fire them ALL and hire from scratch!
Why are they not in Jail?
Because the hire-ups DONT care. It's ruled by money and NOT by rehab.
Lord Jesus Christ may these bad humans abusing others get stopped. 😢please help
After NYs 2015 prison break, a review of NY prisons was done, and I believe 250 guards went into forced retirement…
Must have missed this Marcy bunch
Dealing with monsters may turn you into one.
no
No, it doesn't. Don't blame other people for your choices. Only you are responsible for who you are and who you choose to be.
@@zoomanx9661 Whenever police or prison guards do something wrong there's always someone wanting to make excuses for them. Usually it's the very same people who are quickest to condemn others for their crimes.
@@Ononon631 when did I make an excuse for what they did? I said dealing with monsters can turn you into one.
@@rodniegsm1575 that goes for that inmate also
The real problem, officers are given permission to abuse 'certain' prisoners. They still believe they're 'overseers' because the system lets them.
THE GUARD'S HAD BEEN DOING THIS FOR YEAR'S AND DECADES I'M NOT SURPRISED OR SHOCKED NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED LIKE THAT GOD DON'T SLEEP JESUS CHRIST 😢😢❤❤
MAY GOD Bless This Courageous Black Man for Exposing the truth.
they would not make it out alive in prison no telling how money times they got away with this
The state of NY should be forced to pay a multi million dollar verdict and anyone involved in this attack should get life sentences..of course neither will happen
This been going on for tears years the thing is these the ones that got caught
If you know anyone who has been to prison. They will share with you that abuse by the guards are a common occurrence. There are T.V. shows based on real-life scenarios like "Law and Order S.V.U." had episodes about this topic. Where is the oversight? Where is the punishment?
What did the AG for New York know and when did she know it???
You were in jail- You don't need a stinking phone! 😂
This didn't get reported on the BBC.
all that is missing is the black shirts and white hoods
Exactly
Always in jail
Always innocent
Don’t go to jail
idiot
You have people commenting saying they have no empathy for this inmate. We really must start taking these matters into our own hands. There is no justice system. We must find out where these people live.
I can see the Hurt in his Eyes
if u look deep enough u can see the hurt in his victim as well, but who cares about them
How uou know his crime had a victim ? He never said what his crime was. Even tho I would like to know.@@cooterdavenport-te8yq
@@cooterdavenport-te8yq Doesn't fit their narrative
@alsson3137 EXACTLY!!! AND ITS SICKENING!!!!
With Trump in unfortunately I see ish like this getting worser and worser
I used to be a Rikers Officer but I did the upstate transfers, it’s different in the prisons upstate. Nothing like Rikers. The whole prison sticks together up there
Gotta love Rikers , Hochuaser really knew how to run that jail didn't he ?
Most of the Riker's C.O.'s are dirty , tell me I'm wrong .
Oh so true. I got punched by a captain and pushed in snow bank because he was trying to be little me and i embarrassed him in front of other co's because they all laughed. NY prison 1991
Dont do anything that will take you to prison
My nephew is experiencing the same abuse who can I talk to in order to help him
how do they have there jobs
Thers all alot of abose like that n jail never get caught.hope this changes somthing! People n jail are humans two
America has a lot of things to fix. This is going to have to be one of the main ones.
on my list of top 100 worthy causes, this doesn't even rank
Sounds like NY and Alabama are some of the worst prisons to be in.
Sick
🥺..God bless you
The All Lives Matter squad where you good W Christians at to help stop this? Yea right
Just picking on and abusing everyone ,inmates scared to say the wrong thing to them
Maybe stay out of prison!
I never understood people who do this. like do you think people are going to keep quiet for the rest of their lives? Do these people not fear that God will bring it out to light?
Stay out of jail and things like this won’t happen to you.
Innocent black people go to jail every day
This is 2024…..that statement is irrelevant in this time.
You might be next
@@Rainbowsun1 Umm , Yeah . Most racist bunch of people always claiming racism .
Moral of story don’t go to prison you couldn’t pay me to be a guard in any prison it’s a dangerous place for them. I’m sure they didn’t bum rush them for nothing.
New York, really worst than Texas😂😮
Be good and stay out of jail!
Ny need stop tortue
Justice forj inmate
whatever
It is PRISON, not convict daycare. Can't do the time don't do the crime CONVICT
Idiot!
Good actor but what about the other 17 inmates who didn't partake in this lawsuit. 27 inmates took advantage of this lawsuit . Pretty sad money grab.
Those officer r not above the Law Officers brutally is a crime
Yes they really need to come to a solution in every prison across the country states
They will be punished somehow someway
Don’t go to jail plain and simple
That comment will fall back on you and yours...
Sure in a country where you can fuckin sneeze and catch a charge youd say that.
Crime is a business and jail is the payoff . Buy putting people in prison the powers that be make money
That’s your solution to the problem??? For those of us not in prison how many of you can sleep knowing prison guards get to do whatever they want to prisoners??? If you have no problems with that then you’re a criminal yourself.
@@pennyschuerch2806 Like a wee baby
Cali prisons don't play. The gangs are so powerful the guards must watch their backs.
Awe poor victim
You guys actually have it easy compared when I was in. Early 70s they were brutal. Now most prison you can have a TV and other things. Back in the day hard time was just that. I learned that I would never go back and never did. I'm pushing 70
Anybody remember the 2 officers Batman and Robbin, who used to beat inmates ?? Anyone who was upstate remember them ? !
Actually I do! Bare hill correctional facility.
This is racism
Everyone’s opinion would change in a second had one of these inmates hurts anyone in your family. They’re there for a reason
🎉What's that mean.They Doing there Time Why Messed with Them Don't take 14 White Men to Stop whatever.Maybe 3 COs it takes make me Sick Right about Now
Sure and just the other day a man was released from a 20 year prison term because DNA found out he was innocent ! Prisoners punishment is being locked up dim wit! It's not in the law that correctional officers get to beat and kill inmates!
Sure. They are there for a reason. So are the prison guards. And the guards have their responsibility not to become criminals themselves. Go look what happened to Robert Brooks. Tell me, was that justified? Unbelievable to have this happening in the USA.
No, it wouldn't. They're in there to serve their punishment. The guards are not the judge, jury and punisher. They are supposed to be there to guard... THATS ALL!
A majority of people in prisons are not the type of people to go out and hurt people’s families. Not everyone that goes or is in prisons are mad insane killers. A majority of inmates are just people that have made mistakes in their lives or that have addiction and mental health problems. Regardless of why they are in prison they are paying their debts for breaking US laws. They were sentenced to X amount of time in prison…. Not to be tortured and beaten by officers. There’s absolutely no excuse for what so many correction officers do to people in so many jails and prisons. I personally know what it’s like to be beating on and tortured by guards. I’ve had to live my life in a wheelchair unable to take care of myself anymore because I was jumped and tortured by guards for simply trying my hardest to explain I think I’m having a minor heart attack in a bad jail where guards are well known for hurting people without any good reason.
These black men are crazy to put their lives into the hands of this quasi slave system.
Really,? Holding a phone that looks like a gun, for speeding? Broken taillights, fitting the description? Smelling like weed, baggy of planted drug that the person has never used. You have to be white to make that comment.
I call bullshit on the sodimizing.
This is terrible what happened to Robert Brooks; but young men, avoid prison all together. Surrender your life to Jesus Christ. He will never fail you.
So sad all them need to be sued and end of there jobs they should be jail there's elf they need cameras in that system at all time
Here’s an idea. Don’t break the law and go to jail.
