Rep. Hunter pointed out that he had written to BOP Director Harley Lappin in January urging that the agents be segregated from the general prison population for their safety. He received a letter from Director Lappin’s assistant at BOP assuring him that they would be segregated from the general population and that all measures would be taken to assure their safety. This was not done, and Agent Ramos was attacked and severely beaten on February 3 by Mexican inmates at the facility.

That's what I would like to know .. why weren't then segregated from the general prison population ??

They had him locked up in isolationfor 23 hours a day.

He chose to leave that living hell, so he could phone his wife at times.

Bush couldn't make it clearer to the Illegals just whose side he is on, and it boils my blood.

Bush makes every excuse he can, to validate the Illegals very existance in our Country. You know, they are just here (breaking the law) trying to make a living for their families..blah, blah, blah.

Your people are literally begging you..Take a stand President Bush...THEM OR US!

I was at first neutral on this matter. I wasn't sure who to believe.

But now DHS admits lying about their claims that the agents said they wanted to kill a Mexican. And now this? Putting former AGENTS in general population after assuring they would not be? DHS and the Justice Department are now the ones with the credibility problems.

This truly reeks to high heaven. And I'm getting the feeling that the worst crap has yet to be revealed here.

If I may?: The Bureau of Prisons has extensive contracts with US Air Force to operate light security inmate camps on their property. Examples included Elgin AFB in FL and Nellis AFB in North Las Vegas, NV.

For two years I ran the Jail Operation Course for new Academy Trainees. Amongst the the items which were in the course, was an incident from (I think from Santa Barbara County, CA.

In that case, a jailer was sent to federal prison after he placed a inmate into a tank which housed members of a gang known for attacking members of other gangs.

The US District Court in the sentencing stated words to the effect of"... the (Defendant) was a experienced jailer, he knew the consequences of placing (xxxx) into a tank which contained enemies".

As all Prison Wardens are political animals, they would only have placed this BCP Officer into general population with the prior approval of their boss.

I think a third year law student could make a case of attempted murder against whoever made or approved of those decisions.

That's my question as well. Why was he in general population? Another post says that he was originally in isolation, but chose to leave in order to phone his wife. If that is correct, then why was he in isolation; why wasn't he escorted in order to protect him; and why are they in Mississippi?
