Americans horrified by our treatment of prisoners in Iraq shouldn't forget the abuses that prisoners endure at home.
A guard involved in the alleged sexual assault of a Vermont inmate in his cell at a Kentucky prison has been fired, said an official for the privately operated prison.
Vermont Corrections Commissioner Stephen Gold said Monday that the inmate was inside a segregated detention unit at the Marion facility in St. Mary, Ky., when a video surveillance camera recorded a guard entering the man's cell and leaving 10 minutes later. ... Gold confirmed he was told the inmate might have been handcuffed at the time the sexual assault took place.
