BUNKER HILL Six inmates kept in isolation at Miami Correctional Facility are suing the prison, alleging they were subjected to brutal and dangerous conditions, including living in total darkness for months and frequently being shocked from dangling live wires.
The lawsuits were filed last week by the American Civil Liberties Union of Indiana on behalf of William Anderson, Charles Lyons, Anthony Parish, Jeremy Blanchard, Gerald Reed and Jeffrey Wagner.
In the grievances, the inmates said they were placed in isolation cells inside the restrictive housing unit, where prison officials had covered a broken outside window with sheet metal and never replaced or repaired the single light inside the cell.
