Iowa prison officials cleared in rape case
A federal appeals court affirmed a lower court ruling that cleared Iowa prison officials of negligence in a lawsuit by Ronald Branchcomb, an inmate who said he was raped by several prisoners at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Madison after transfers from Anamosa. The court noted security procedures could improve but found no evidence of deliberate indifference. It allowed Branchcomb to decide whether to pursue claims against two remaining officials.
