BUNKER HILL, Ind. (WISH) Lawsuits filed against a central Indiana prison claim men were held in pitch-black isolation units for all but one hour a day, leading to injuries from dangling electrical wires, broken glass and windows, and extreme cold.
One prisoner, Gerald Reed, 50, was injured when a 100-pound light fixture fell and struck him in the head, his lawsuit alleges.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana filed lawsuits on behalf of the six men currently at Miami Correctional Facility. That’s located about 50 miles north of Indianapolis off U.S. 31. The prison is adjacent to the U.S. Grissom Air Reserve Base.
