A prisoner at a private prison in Idaho was beaten into a coma while prison guards watched. A surveillance video leaked to the Associated Press shows the man pleading for help and banging on a prison guard station window, but no one steps out to help him.
Shortly after the beating stops, the cellblock door opens and the prisoner is checked for signs of life. He spent three days in a coma.
Idaho Correctional Center is owned by Corrections Corporation of America. Lawsuits from inmates claim that the company denies medical treatment as a way to cover up such assaults.

(Are there STILL local politicians who think a private prison in Globe--or anywhere else-- is a good idea?)
