Accidental holding

The Erie County Holding Center is under investigation (again) for violence against an inmate. 

I say again because of an incident in 2012 that led to the death of an inmate - Richard Metcalf - whose death is "apparently" tied to mistreatment by deputies in the Holding g Center. I personally fail to see how suffocating someone with a pillowcase and beating him while denying ambulance crews the ability to provide medical care is an accident.

Now the Holding Center is under investigation for the beating of Carl M Miller by another inmate.  This after he requested to be moved away from another inmate that was harassing him. The request to be moved was apparently made evident to his family as well.

So not moving the inmate was an accident.

My faith in the ability of the Holding Center to properly take care of inmates gets lower every year.

There are inmates that need to be held because of the heinous crimes that they have committed.  Others could better be served with medical facilities because of their condition.

Either way,  the staff at the Holding Center need to be held accountable for the injuries and deaths that occurred under their care.

Socialists demand that a full investigation be held and all results made public.

Furthermore, those reponsible for the injuries (or not moving the inmate whose life was in danger) need to be held accountable for their actions and inactions.

We need cameras to provide proper surveillance for the safety of the inmates and the staff.

Yes,  the people in the Holding Center may be there because they committed a crime.
That does not mean they should become victims themselves.
