The growing American prison complex is horrific:
At 19, Fornah was jailed on a robbery charge and a series of misdemeanors in December 2005 after a dispute with his girlfriend in which he took her car keys. Unable to post bail, he was locked up at the city’s Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility.
The night of March 24, 2006, just two weeks before prosecutors dropped all charges against him, his mentally deranged cell mate savagely beat and raped him in a dark, isolated cell while top prison officials debated how to rescue him, according to internal prison documents obtained by the Daily News.
The stand-off lasted two hours.
Two hours of rape and beatings while prison bureaucrats debated. Nobody deserves that: innocent (which he was) or guilty.
