4 former correctional officers sentenced to prison for inmateâs death
âTheir actions are a disgrace to all correctional officers who serve ethically and continue to maintain high moral standards throughout our correctional facilities.â
Four former Louisiana correctional officers were recently sentenced to prison for violating the civil rights of an inmate who died in custody due to a pre-existing medical condition.
In March 2014, Nimali Henry, 19, was sent to jail on charges of simple battery, disturbing the peace, and unauthorized entry after getting into an altercation while trying to retrieve her four-month-old daughter from the childâs father. Suffering from thrombocytopenic purpura, or TTP, a rare disorder that causes clots to form in small blood vessels throughout the body, Henry required medication for the life-threatening condition.
