IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

(CHICAGO, Illinois) Jermaine Reynolds, a prisoner being held at the Upstate Correctional Facility in Malone, NY, is currently suffering in solitary confinement with injuries to his kidneys, head, and leg after being beaten up by his chow escort on Oct 7, 2017. His wife, who reported the situation, has already contacted the NY Inspector General and is requesting help from IWOC to keep her husband safe and demand accountability from those responsible for his appalling treatment. She says:

 

“[Jermaine’s] disposition is full of lies and inaccuracies [..] they charged him with assault to an officer but no correctional officer name is attached

[..] He has had X-rays taken and his head has been hurting [..] his wounds just healed since Oct 7th [..] Other inmates witnessed his attack, and threats were made towards the other inmates. Those inmates were beaten for protecting him. It is hard to understand his “guilty” charge on his disposition. He was handcuffed with his hands behind him. So there is no way for him to have hit anyone with his hands.”
