Rikers Island, Contrary to popular belief, the abuse of detainees is not a thing of the past. Excessive force against inmates and mistakes still happen today in New York and across the country. Correctional facilities as Rikers Island Prison recently landed in the news for the flagrant abuses of prisoners occurred within their walls.

Rikers Island inmate abuse

Lloyd Nicholson, a former corrections officer at Rikers Island Prison Complex, was recently sentenced to six years in prison for a series of attacks that took place while he worked as a guard. A jury convicted him of orchestrating Nicholson beating teenage inmates in an organized system he called the program “.

Three other prison guards will soon stand trial for their role as the corrupt officials at the Robert N. Davoren, a complex within the facility Rikers Island. Michael McKie of Brooklyn and Staten Island Khalid Nelson face each face up to 25 years imprisonment for corruption of the company, a charge that falls under the category of organized crime. Denise Albright, of Manhattan, facing charges of assault and conspiracy for his alleged role in abusing prisoners.

Unfortunately, the abuse of detainees is a reality for many of New York, 100,000 inmates. Abuse can take different forms and from different sources and it is difficult for prisoners to ever feel safe in their daily lives.

Abuses of detainee’s agent

New York gives much power to the prison so they can effectively maintain the prison system and keep inmates safe. Unfortunately, some abuse of correctional officers and inmates of the power of aggression. Abuse of prisoners occurs when the prison administration use of force unnecessary and excessive or commit a sexual assault on the prisoner.
– Violent attacks on inmates are the most common type of abuse by corrections officers. It is the unnecessary beating, hitting, kicking or striking a prisoner. Unnecessary or excessive use of the agent a handgun to a defenseless prisoner is a typical example. These attacks can cause lacerations, fractures, internal injuries, disfigurement, brain or spinal cord injury and even death.
– Sexual assault is more common guards in detention centers than you might think. The National Inmate Survey reveal that 4.4 percent of the prison inmates and alleged victims of sexual abuse over the last 12 months. Sexual abuse may occur verbally or by physical contact, verbal, although sexual abuse is extremely difficult to prove and rarely leads to damages. Sexual violence can also cause serious physical injury.

New York prisons “Duties and Responsibilities

Those who are incarcerated in correctional institutions in New York as Rikers are supposed to be protected by the City. Since prisoners cannot afford to protect themselves as free members of society, the City assumes the responsibility to protect those who held the prisoners.

When correctional officers accept their position in the City of New York Department of Corrections they accept the responsibility to protect prisoners, whatever their sympathy or antipathy particular prisoners, prisoners shall be treated equally and fairly. However, some prison officers to develop a personal hatred of some detainees to intimidate the person, which often leads to the beating of a defenseless prisoner.

Although inmates know that officer misconduct is illegal, they tolerate aggression as a simple fact of prison life. However, prisoners cannot take in these situations – they can sue for injuries to protect their rights, obtain compensation for their injuries and to punish the guard misconduct.

When an inmate or former inmate, commenced a lawsuit against the City for prison guard abuse, the court will make the final decision regarding custody was acting illegally. To determine if New York is legally liable for injuries to prisoners, the court bases its decision on the facts and circumstances of each case. Each situation is unique and depends largely on the evidence and arguments of each side. It is crucial for victims to seek legal counsel experienced to give a powerful voice.

When prisoners mistreated will file a lawsuit against the City, there are multiple causes of actions they can rely on their pursuit. Some of these causes of action:
– Assault
– The denial of civil rights
– Negligence in the ownership, operation, maintenance, supervision and security of the prison.
– Hiring people through negligence
– Retention of staff negligence

New York law has a time-sensitive process that inmates must follow to file a complaint against the City. Inmates must file a notice of claim of the City within 90 days after the injury occurred, although in rare cases there may be valid excuses for a delay. Any procedural error or delay in filing the notice of claim or subsequent prosecution may be deprived of the victim’s right to recover.

Connecting to a Personal Injury Attorney

Abuse of power by correctional officers is unacceptable. If you or a family member has suffered injury or wrongful treatment of a correctional officer, contact a personal injury lawyer to discuss possible legal actions. Make a claim for abuse of prisoners is complicated, and outreach and assistance of a lawyer experienced in handling cases of abuse of detainees is invaluable.

Lil Wayne Release Date

November 4, 2010 by · Comments Off on Lil Wayne Release Date 

Lil Wayne Release Date, Still upset by the brutality and the disappointment of the Election Day, America now looks forward to one thing … Lil Wayne News Riker’s Island!

The time has come, Moneyians youth. Within hours, Weezy (aka Dwayne Michael Carter) will be a free man, to escape the chain system of state prisons, as he flew with his dad, Birdman, on a private jet so-called housing a recording studio!

Sources of Cash Money Young Money Camp reported that Wayne has enough material to release 10 full albums in one year. Yet, everyone is happier Tha Carter IV, affectionately known as C4 insiders.

The official release date is still in the air. But in spring 2011 looks promising. And today only, we sent a partial tracklist exclusively for this highly anticipated new album that we are so, so, so excited to share with you. Let’s all give up singing, “Free Weezy NO MORE!”

Without exaggeration further leakage of seven exclusive songs from Tha Carter IV:

1. “Go DA” A remix of 2003 hit single “Go DJ.” This song is a sarcastic shout-out to the District Attorney who gave Wayne his way to the pen. Go DA! This is my DA! Attention, DA!

2. “No More Lollipops”
Enjoying a lollipop out of prison is OK. But licking on lollipops in prison is not OK in any way. Ever.

3. “IPod = InoT”
We were all a little shocked when Weezy got some “punitive segregation” last month for making “music listening equipment.” Dude, its Weezy! People need music more than water!

4. “I am not a human being (So Why the F++k Am I in Rikers, not that Martha Stewart Country Club Where taken his mandatory vacation?)”
A bit long, the title term. But, boy, it definitely sets the record straight.

5. “Locked-Up-Down but not locked”
Even if Wayne was imprisoned, he still scored a chart-topper and more depressed-downloaded spot on iTunes for one week in September. Without speaking, he was featured in “Miss Me” Drake’s video and almost knocked off Jay-Z Obama’s iPod playlist. Yeah, Weezy is definitely an alien.

6. “(Do not) Drop the World of Soap”
After a painful experience, Wayne shares with us why using a bar of soap as a microphone when showers were not a good idea.

7. “Mr. Director”
A remake of “Mrs. Officer” off Weezy Tha Carter III. Yes, tell-oh-WEEE WEEE is not anything pretty about it.

Free Weezy

November 4, 2010 by · Comments Off on Free Weezy 

Free Weezy, (AP) — Lil Wayne has been freed from jail after serving eight months in a gun case, emerging with a hot new album, well-wishes from a former president and a deepened appreciation for his fans.

The city’s Department of Correction website said Thursday the Grammy Award-winning rap star had been released from the Rikers Island jail complex.

“FREE AT LAST!!!!!!!” the rapper’s longtime manager, Cortez Bryant, Tweeted Thursday morning.

His managers have said he planned to head for his home in Miami, where they’re planning a welcome-home party Sunday.

“I was never scared, worried nor bothered by the situation” behind bars, Lil Wayne said Tuesday through Weezythanxyou.com, a website he set up to give fans a glimpse of his life in jail.

Lil Wayne, who had the best-selling album of 2008 and won a best rap album Grammy with “Tha Carter III,” kept his career in high gear while locked up for having a loaded gun on his tour bus in 2007.

His latest album, “I Am Not a Human Being” — released while he was in solitary confinement in September — hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart last month. Other artists, including Drake and Eminem that came out while he was incarcerated — and he recorded a verse for the Drake/Jay-Z collaboration “Light Up” over on the phone for a “Rikers Remix” that made the rounds online, also featured him on a string of hits.

President Barack Obama recently told Rolling Stone he has some Lil Wayne music on his iPod. And former President Bill Clinton praised the rapper’s abilities during a phone interview with a Pittsburgh radio station Tuesday, adding that “what I hope will happen is that he has a good life now.”

Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Carter Jr., pleaded guilty in October 2009 to attempted weapon possession, admitting he’d had a loaded, semiautomatic .40-caliber gun on his bus after a Manhattan concert.

He started a yearlong sentence in March but got time off for good behavior, despite a disciplinary knock that sent him to solitary for the last month of his term. A charger and headphones for a digital music player were found in his cell in May, jail officials said. The items are considered contraband.

The rapper later acknowledged the misstep on his Weezythanxyou site, where his associates typed up and posted periodic letters he wrote on topics ranging from his daily Rikers routine to new songs he’d heard and liked on the radio.

He also provided specific, individual responses to some of the fan mail that flooded his cell and became, he said, a source of cheer behind bars.

“I laughed with some of you, reasoned with some of you, and even cried with some of you,” he wrote in a letter posted Tuesday. “I never imagined how much impact my words and life can have.”

But he assured fans the impact hasn’t completely changed an artist known for ingenious work that sometimes borders on weird: “I will be the same Martian I was when I left, just better.”

A few die-hard fans huddled in the pre-dawn rain Thursday outside Rikers Island complex, hoping to get a glimpse of him.

Anthony Smith, 19, and his twin sister, Jess, got in their car at 1 a.m. in the town of Woodbury, N.Y., north of the city, to drive down with a couple of friends.

Smith said he’s been listening to Lil Wayne for about a decade since his first album, “Tha Block is Hot.”

“I feel that his words mean something … He just has a gift,” Smith said.

The group sang and rapped from some of Lil Wayne’s songs and occasionally yelled, “Free Weezy,” a reference to the rapper’s nickname.

“I don’t do this for just anyone,” said Jess Smith.

Lil Wayne envisions recording new music and releasing a long-rumored “Tha Carter IV” next year, and he may also make a book out of a journal he kept in jail, according to his managers and associates.

But his priorities at the moment are reconnecting with his family — he has four children — and the Cash Money Records labelmates to whom he often refers as family, too.

“Family first … then back to business,” Cash Money co-founder Bryan “Birdman” Williams said in an interview last week.
