The Justice Department says a former Alabama Dept. of Corrections prison sergeant has been sentenced after pleading guilty to assaulting two inmates at Elmore Correctional Facility.
According to court documents, on Feb. 16, 2019, Oliver went to an observation room holding the two inmates, who were handcuffed and sitting quietly. Oliver pulled the first inmate into a hallway, where he struck the victim multiple times with his fists and feet, and then used his collapsible baton to strike the victim approximately nineteen times.
The Justice Department says during the assaults, the inmates were handcuffed behind their backs, did not resist and posed no threat. Oliver assaulted the victims as punishment because he believed that the victims had brought contraband into the facility, according to court documents. Other correctional officers did not intervene.
