Judge Rules Virginia Penitentiary Chief Personally Liable for Inmate Abuse
U.S. District Judge Robert R. Merhige Jr found Virginia prison director Cunningham had personal knowledge of and aided in unconstitutional inmate mistreatment. A $21,265 award to three ex-inmates was ordered, with appeals to the Fourth Circuit. The ruling cited tear gas, extended solitary confinement, inhumane diets, naked cells, and chained inmates. Cunningham defended reforms and cited improved programs and no loss of life. In a separate action, a federal judge blocked retirement benefits for AFL-CIO NMU president Joseph Curran, pending further orders.
