THREE prisoners who were beaten by prison officers at the Port of Spain prison in 2018 will each receive a little over $130,000 in compensation from the State.
Master Martha Alexander made the award on Tuesday, at a virtual hearing, after the State accepted liability for assault and battery.
Darren Romeo, Kernell Rausseau, and Shaquille Rogers sued the State after they were beaten on January 23, 2018.
A fourth prisoner, Gregory Goodridge, who was also beaten, had his assessment hearing adjourned pending a settlement with the State.
