Suit Filed Against Otter Creek Prison
KENTUCKY....
In a suit filed Monday, a Hawaii inmate claims she was sexually assaulted and raped in June 2008 by two guards at the Otter Creek Correctional Center, a private prison owned by Corrections Corporation of America and located in Wheelwright, Kentucky. In September, the state moved all 128 of its female inmates out of privately-run Otter Creek into a state-run prison after 23 female inmates, including seven from Hawaii, alleged they were sexually assaulted. At least six prison workers have been indicted in that case.
