Prison officials deny physical abuse of inmates

Following allegations of physical abuse at the hands of prison officials on Tuesday’s newscast, today Chief Executive Officer Marlon Skeen has denied the report. According to Skeen, the Kolbe Foundation does not use any kind of electrical device to reprimand prisoners. Skeen went on to contend that the marks on former inmate Lisa Lauriano’s body are very likely battle scars from the numerous altercations between the young woman and other female inmates. Skeen told us today that on Friday, Lauriano was sent to his office to participate in an internal tribunal proceeding for fighting and profanity, but during the formality became unruly and had to be physically removed and taken to isolation. Skeen claims that isolation is the only form of discipline used at the prison.
