A female prisoner died after guards did not intervene while she was being beaten with a sock filled with bars of soap, it is claimed in a lawsuit set to be heard in the US.

Nicole Rathmann was attacked by another inmate as she lay on her bunk at the Central Mississippi Correctional Facility.

But prison wardens allegedly allowed the beating to happen without intervening.

“During the course of this unconstitutional assault, not one single jail guard or official attempted to stop the attack,...

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Beaten to death with a sack of soap bars?  Novel.

A bar of soap in a sock is a VERY good substitute for a sap.

They hand out bars the size of a Motel 6 soap in jail.  She would have had to collect a bunch of them to make a decent sap.

It's no problem to "weld" partial bars together when they are wet,and after they set up,they are as solid as concrete.

I also though that phrase bizarre. Guards have a duty to oversee prisoners' safety - a reasonable duty, not absolute guarantors. So this case is likely to come down to:

1. Could guards have meaningfully interrupted the assault;

2. Did the guards respond timely to the woman's injury.
If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Waden and all guards involved should be terminated and charged with accessory to murder.

I will go out on a limb here and guess the guards in question are women.

@Sighlass

I have had several friends that worked as prison guards,and my understanding is there are women guards in male prisons,and male guards in women's prisons. Nobody says anything about it,but I am guessing the male guards are VERY reluctant to grab a female inmate,though. The lawsuits would be never-ending.

Men are generally not programmed to respond to a vicious, aggressive, no holds barred female.

It isn't there, it's awkward, and not responding appropriately can lead to serious injury. Responding appropriately can lead to a lawsuit. Same with propositions, damned if you do, and accused if you don't.
It's a no-win deal for a straight guy.

@Absolutely. You are nuts if you even talk to a female inmate unless there is a female guard with you . If there is anybody that knows how to "Game the system",it is inmates. They have nothing else to do all day but plot scams.

While many may not be 'book smart', they are cunning and scheming, and like you said, they have lots of time on their hands.

She was a pretty lady at one time... wonder who her attackers were? Who if anyone was charged with murder? Or is it too unPC now days to say?
