Arizona AG’s office says prison teacher raped by inmate knew the dangers of her job

[Liberal_in_LA]

he Arizona Attorney General's office claims a prison teacher who was brutally beaten, stabbed and raped inside a prison classroom knew that the job carried inherent risks, including being assaulted.

In seeking the dismissal of a lawsuit filed by the woman, state prosecutor Jonathan Weisbard wrote "by being placed in a classroom at the complex, the officers were not placing Plaintiff in any type of situation that she would not normally face," according to The Republic newspaper.

"The risk of harm, including assault, always existed at a prison like Eyman," the deputy attorney general wrote of the prison complex in Florence.

The woman claims prison staff failed to protect her in January 2014, when she was told to give a high-school equivalency test to seven convicted sex offenders in a room with no windows and no guards.

5. What the actual fuck?

No guards?

[niyad]

7. NO GUARDS, NO WINDOWS, and SEVEN SEX OFFENDERS, and the radio she was given to

call for help (while she was being raped???) was tuned to the wrong frequency.

[cyberswede]

9. That's inexcusable and appalling. nt

[niyad]

12. and an obscene demonstration of woman-hating.

the bastard is all but blaming the woman.

[niyad]

6. may that bastard receive everything he deserves.

[niyad]

8. trigger alert for article--pictures the rapist.

[niyad]

10. interesting that weisbard's name is not on the list of attorneys in the AG's office.

11. was the risk explicitly laid out in the small print of the contract?

If not, major fail, given the claimed defense. This woman's trauma falls directly upon the state. Established safety protocols weren't followed. During the time that they weren't followed (the period there were no guards with her) - the state was liable.

To blame her is reckless.

13. Cops that get shot....

do I really have to say anymore or add a sarc tag?
