Former Inmate Accuses Guards Of Raping Her
This case is very disturbing for a number of reasons:
1. The kind of crime this woman committed and what she went through.
2. The amount of complaints she made.
3. The fact that she ended up pregnant.
Hope these guards rot in jail!

| Only able to use 30 percent of her lung capacity, Jane Doe said she wasn't allowed to do work details or walk short distances when imprisoned at Dwight Correctional Center. But that didn't stop a group of prison guards from targeting her, said the woman whose attorney filed a lawsuit Monday against several members of the prison staff. More than two dozen times during her seven-month stay, guards forced the former beauty pageant winner, oxygen generator in tow, into their private bathroom, where they raped her, she said. "You don't know if they're going to kill you," said the former inmate, who is not being identified because of the nature of the offense. "I did not know what was going on with my own body." By the time she was released from the prison in June 2006, she was 14 weeks' pregnant, according to the complaint. The only men she had contact with during her sentence were corrections staff, said her attorney, Kathleen Zellner. In Illinois, it is a felony for the prison staff to have sexual contact with inmates, Zellner said. "You have a child," Zellner said. "That's all you need to know." The filing of the lawsuit comes weeks after a Michigan jury sided with 10 women who accused male prison guards of raping them at Scott Correctional Facility in Plymouth. The jury award in that case could be $30 million with interest. Tears ran down Jane Doe's face as she sat in her attorney's office Monday and said she knew of about 10 other inmates at Dwight who were assaulted as she said she was. Convicted of signing at least one bad check in Cook County, Jane Doe, who suffers from obstructive pulmonary lung disease, was sent to the facility in November 2005, her attorney said. Several weeks after she arrived, the abuse began, she said. Guards would open her cell in the middle of the night and force her to their bathroom. Several guards were almost always present, and one acted as a "look-out," coughing or giving some other signal if someone was coming, she said. The first time she was raped by three men, she said. During the next few months, she would be sexually assaulted 29 times by seven officers, she said. During each attack, the woman was held from behind in a chokehold, according to the complaint. "You can't fight them because they grip you from behind the neck," she said as she pressed fingers to a spot behind her ear.... |

Her Raping Guards Accuses Inmate Former
Being in the security field I hope that these guys are prosecuted to the full extent of the law. TO have to go after inmates to satisfy your sexual cravings because you think they will not tell is plain wrong. I supposed they will say she was dressed in a manner that told them she wanted it. OR that she came to them and asked to be raped. The fact that they are there to protect them from each other and the public does not mean you can do what ever to them. These guys need to go visit "bubba" in the mens prison system.

One of the most disturbing things of all is that this woman carries around an oxygen mask/tank because she has breathing problems!
