Colorado: “An inmate who twice escaped from the Pueblo County jail filed a federal lawsuit Thursday, alleging that guards abused him and didn’t do enough to stop him from breaking out.” Scott Anthony Gomez, Jr.’s lawsuit “claims authorities ‘did next to nothing to ensure that the jail was secure and that the Plaintiff could not escape.'” (TheDenverChannel.com, Jan. 4).

In fairness, the laxity of the security buttresses the claims of abuse – a well managed jail is less likely to have abusive guards AND is less likely to have escapees.
Would his abuse allegations have made this website without the craziness of blaming the jail for his escape? Outlandish allegations are virtually mandatory to get any attention for prisoners.
Ok. So the next time he tries to escape they should just shoot him. End of problem.

“was seriously injured when he fell 40 feet while trying to scale down the side of the jail.”
Presumably prison officials will change nothing other than adding some vicious spikes at the bottom of the drop.
maybe we should sue the inmate for food, housing, medical care, etc during his stay. As a tax payer I would like to be reinbursed for supporting this individual. Better yet the lawyer and/or judge should be incarcerated for allowing this case to go forward.
