Sexual abuse in prisons between inmates is one of the most unreported kinds of abuse and the abuse between guards and prisoners is even more unreported. This is mostly because everyone seems to turn their head when it comes to those kinds of crimes in prison. Some people may think that just because these inmates are criminals that they deserve whatever come their way while they are incarcerated. This is not so, inmates received their justice one the judge gave them their sentence. This is a prime example of people taking advantage of their authority. Hopefully this type of criminal action will cease to exist one day.

Blog #5: Authorities say prison guard charged with sexually abusing inmates
Harry Nicoletti, 59, was arrested Tuesday accused of sexually and physically abusing more than 20 inmates. Nicoletti, a Pennsylvania prison guard, faces 92 counts of institutional sexual assault, official oppression, terroristic threats and simple assault. According to the criminal complaint stated that Nicoletti was accused of targeting male inmate convicted of sex crimes, particularly those convicted of crimes against children. The 34-page consists of what the authorities describe as verbal abuse directed at the inmates as physical abuse and sexual abuse. In the State Criminal Institution at Pittsburgh’s “F-Block” Nicoletti allegedly raped, slapped, bribed and exposed himself to inmates. One of the inmates at the prison said that he was rewarded for assaulting 15 other inmates under Nicoletti’s orders. The inmate did not specify on what type of abuse he was talking about. Nicoletti told KDKA that all the allegations were false. His preliminary hearing is scheduled for October 7.
