A state investigation found prison guards harassed priest John Geoghan at MCI Concord and Souza-Baranowski, filing frivolous disciplinary reports that boosted his danger status and led to his transfer to a high security unit where he was killed. The report cites guards acting on personal animus and notes one guard at Concord assaulted Geoghan.
