密西西比《今日密西西比》和《纽约时报》的联合调查揭示了密西西比兰金县监狱的系统性暴力,据称看守利用所谓的“信任人”或“蓝波”等信任的囚犯殴打其他犯犯轻罪者。 A joint investigation by Mississippi Today and the New York Times reveals systemic violence at Mississippi’s Rankin County Jail, where guards allegedly used trusted inmates, known as "trusties" or the "Blue Wave," to beat other prisoners for minor infractions. 这些袭击往往是在不公开的盲点上发生的,据报是工作人员下令进行的,以换取诸如无锁牢房和外出工作等特权。 The assaults, often in camera blind spots, were reportedly ordered by staff and carried out in exchange for privileges like unlocked cells and outside work. 前囚犯和狱警称虐待十分普遍,2012年至2024年期间记录了69起事件,包括严重受伤。 Former inmates and guards described the abuse as widespread, with 69 incidents documented from 2012 to 2024, including severe injuries. 一些信托人也遭到袭击,投诉常常被驳回。 Some trusties were also attacked, and complaints were frequently dismissed. 密西西比调查局正在审查调查结果,而警长部则否认这些指控,称报告毫无根据,并维护监狱的正常运行。 The Mississippi Bureau of Investigation is reviewing the findings, while the sheriff’s department denies the allegations, calling the report baseless and defending the jail as well-run.
