Christopher Harris, a one-time inmate in the Jefferson County jail, is suing the Jefferson County sheriff and jail officials in connection with injuries he claims to have suffered while being held.
Family members of Chris Harris, the detainee at the Jefferson County jail who was allegedly beaten by a jail supervisor, took time on Saturday evening to discuss Harris' treatment, saying they were angry and that the person who should now be in jail is the supervisor.
A supervisor at the Jefferson County jail who has been terminated twice before for using excessive force with inmates was terminated again last month for the same reason, but Sheriff Lafayette Woods Jr., who oversees the jail, overruled the termination and has allowed the person to retain his job.
