Family of Deceased Pennsylvania Inmate Sues Over Excessive Pepper Spray – NBC10 Philadelphia

The department issued a news release in November 2019 saying 13 members of the prison's staff, including unnamed guards and medical personnel, had been suspended during an investigation into Briggs' death. McNaughton declined to say Tuesday what the outcome of that investigation was or whether any of those personnel were fired.
The lawsuit lists 11 guards and medical personnel as John Does as well as two supervisors at the facility as defendants alongside the Department of Corrections.
Lawyers with the Abolitionist Law Center allege that guards used an “unjustifiable amount” of pepper spray to break up an altercation between another inmate and Briggs, who they said was defending himself in the fight.
