Synopsis as reported by the agency
On March 4, 2024, Officer Perry called a medical code in one of the facility yards. At the time the code was called, the yard was occupied by several Restricted Housing Unit/Close Custody status Incarcerated Persons. Officer Perry unsecured the yard gate and entered the yard with the unsecured Incarcerated Persons with no authorization from a supervisor. When the Sergeant arrived, there were medical staff in the yard along with the unsecured Incarcerated Persons, which is a safety and security risk to other staff. Officer Perry signed a settlement agreement on this matter on June 4, 2024.
