Inmate attacked at Colorado youth facility, lawsuit claims

Описание: An employee at the Mount View Youth Services Center in Lakewood threw an inmate into a wall and then picked him up by his throat until his feet left the ground, according to a federal civil rights lawsuit that was filed Thursday.

FrankieRhea Chiles is suing a program manager named Mike and two other employees, a supervisor and another guard who the lawsuit alleges closed a door and blocked a camera, which allowed the attack to occur.

Before the incident on Jan. 26, 2022, the lawsuit says, Chiles was sitting in an open pod and was told he could not participate in programming and as a result, refused to go back to his room. Mike responded there after a Code Yellow was called and began "trash-talking and provoking" Chiles to stand up, according to the lawsuit.

During this confrontation, the lawsuit says, Mike punched Chiles in the face causing his nose to bleed. Chiles responded by calling Mike names. Eventually, Chiles was walked back to his room.

Once in the room, the lawsuit says, Mike ordered others to leave, and then a program manager named Brad closed the door "just enough" so that what was happening in the room was blocked and not captured by a camera in the hallway.
