Former Fayette Jail Employees Sentenced
KENTUCKY....
Former Fayette County jail employees John McQueen and Clarence McCoy have each been sentenced to 10 years in prison and two years of supervised release after being convicted May 13th in connection with inmate beatings and a conspiracy to cover them up. Investigators say jail employees attacked inmates when they were neither resisting or posing a threat to any officer. Several former inmates have sued the jail in state and federal court. Three other former jail employees accepted plea agreements in connection with the case.
