Latee Brockington says in her Bronx Supreme Court suit that none of the alleged assaults at the Anna M. Kross Center in 2020 would have happened if the Department of Correction had implemented her requests to be moved to the women’s Rose M. Singer Center women’s jail.
Former correction officer Michelle Griffith, 38, was saved from the terrifying 2020 assault not by colleagues, but by other detainees who heard her scream, she says. Her trauma was allegedly exacerbated by jail staff who widely shared video showing the attack.
At least 827 officers have been caught violating sick leave regulations since July, according to findings of Correction Department investigators shared with the Daily News.
