(Marquette, MI) – Marquette paramedics have just arrived at the Marquette Branch Prison after a corrections officer was attacked a short while ago – that highlights many problems at the prison including under-staffing.

Emergency officials were called because a corrections officer was punched in the head allegedly by an inmate. The call went out at about 4:25 p.m. ET this afternoon, April 14, 2018.

 

The officer was conscious, breathing and in good condition. He never lost consciousness after being punched in the head.

The name of the injured CO is not known. Thankfully, there is the only victim and it was apparently an isolated incident. It is not known if others are being treated in the prison hospital unit.

The CO will be transported to the trauma center at U.P. Health System – Marquette to be checked.

Paramedics were told to use the front door rather than the usual “sally port.”

Both inmates through their families and the COs have told U.P. Breaking News that they fear another riot in a state prison in the U.P. because tension is at a breaking point in many U.P. prisons due to under-staffing, horrible rotten and maggoty food, prisoner abuse.

Some Marquette COs say they have been harassed, threatened with their jobs, and denigrated by the new warden at Marquette Branch.

Details of the assault are not known – and the Michigan Department of Corrections has along history of lying to the news media and releasing false information as they did after the Kinross riot.

The prison – and other U.P. state correctional facilities – are currently in the midst of an ongoing controversy over the treatment of COs and how they treat the inmates – including rotten food.

Marquette Branch is the state’s most legendary maximum security prison, and is located at 1960 U.S.-41 South along Lake Superior.

Upper Peninsula prisons guest editorial by Glen Pittman, MDOC retired: “View from the Inside Out”

View from the Inside Out

Having worked almost 29 years in the Michigan Department of Corrections, an observation or two can be made on how and why things are done. These are my views and in no way represent the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Glen Pittman, MDOC retired

Glen Pittman, MDOC retired

I am not going to get into bashing the Department and dwelling on the stories of corruption that are floating around. If that’s what you want, go rent some good prison fantasy movies. The vast majority of men and women working in this field are some of the most upstanding and respected member of their community. These are people who go to work every day in one of the most negative environments you could work in.

These Officers and staff deal with daily degradation and insults coupled with witnessing some of the most brutal and de-humanizing behavior you could not even imagine being inflicted on others. Studies have shown that enduring years of this environment have had a negative impact on Correctional Staff’s physical and mental health.

You may see them picking up their coffee and snacks at the gas station as they head into work, many thinking, “Over paid Babysitters” but, the truth is you want them there keeping your nightmares locked up.
The general public looks to Corrections as a waste of tax payer’s dollars. Money goes into the Department with no tangible product being produced. The public likes to see a product for their tax dollars, a nice park, and a smooth highway, something they can touch and enjoy. Correction’s product is none of that. The product is unseen in public safety and the removal of the menace; all happening behind a fence or wall hidden from public view.

When Corrections functions properly, the public ignores the product of that blanket of safety being produced. Ironically, the only time the public shows attention is when things go wrong and that veil of security to them is torn; i.e.: 1980 riots. Funding was generous, build more facilities, hire more Officers, get the menace off the streets and keep them there. Time has faded the memories of that event and today’s public have but a distant memory of those events, many not even being born during that period.

The atmosphere now is decrease facilities, increase populations with Officers doing more for the same. In essences, the product produced by Corrections has also been their own demise. Still, these Officers and staff go into work every day maintaining an impossible wall of security for the public.
So the next time you see that “Over paid Babysitter” getting a coffee and snack before they head into the human abyss, say “Thanks, I couldn’t do that”.

Naming Names #4: Baraga Max Inmate Marcus D.

Another Baraga Inmate with less than fives year prison sentence gets more time attached for allegedly attacking corrections officers at Baraga Max Prison – Inmate claims the officers regularly abuse prisoners

Explosive allegations by a convicted bank robber outline claims of civil rights crimes for alleged systemic abuse of inmates and revenge

(Baraga, MI) – A recent federal court civil lawsuit filed by a convicted bank robber outlines allegations of a house of horror, terror and torture.

Some inmate lawsuits are considered frivolous but the allegations in this lawsuit are particularly explosive.

Baraga Max Guards allegedly said:

“Fucking Nigger”
“This is why we beat your fucking ass”
“We tried to break your fucking jaw and knock your head off your fucking shoulders you little spotted bitch”
“A little ass whipping is not going to hurt you (inmate) Mays”
“Hope you choke on that blood you are spitting up and die”
“Fuck You” when inmate asks for help
“Damn your fucking injuries”
“We stick together here at Baraga” Max
“How long do you think are you are going to keep filing lawsuits on our co-workers around here”

Detroit area convicted robber and 53-year-old Baraga Max inmate Marcus Dirk Mays – who claims to be in constant fear of retribution.

Baraga MaxInmate Marcus Dirk Mays mugshot 1Mays was in the prison for a Nov. 2001 bank robbery convict out of Wayne County.
Mays could have been released in May 2016 if not for his conviction of assaulting a Baraga Max corrections officer. Most inmates cannot afford a civil attorney – so their claims are dismissed within two years in federal court in Marquette, MI.

There is no way for U.P. Breaking News to verify the claims made by Mays – which are likely denied by the defendants. Often inmates have no way to prove allegations that are true – and some make up allegations.

In a perfect world – and these these allegations are true – and they are only alleged – the guards and medical staff would be in prison.
Inmates must first go through the prison grievance process before filing a federal court civil suit in Marquette, MI.

U.P. Breaking News can only presume that inmate Mays will remain in good health after the publishing of this story – and we say this hopefully despite his claims.
If you represent inmate Mays or are a friend or family member – please contact U.P. Breaking News.

In addition, as usual, we are willing to talk to any of these- or other corrections officers – either on or off the record.

Baraga Max Inmate Randy Henry Beasley 1

(Baraga, MI) – A Michigan prison inmate who started with a minor sentence – and then took on the administration and staff at Baraga Max – has filed a federal court lawsuit with accusations of brutality, racial slurs, and trying to provoke fights with inmates.

The revolving Michigan prison door often involves inmates and “guards” fighting – because some corrupt corrections officers act unprofessionally, instigate fights and conduct write-ups for revenge against inmates they hate

The civil rights lawsuit was filed by Baraga Maximum Security Prison Inmate Randy Beasley (#631420) on Nov. 6, 2017 at federal court in Marquette, MI.

Baraga Max Inmate Randy Beasley lawsuit 11-9-17

U.P. Breaking News believes in using the term”corrections officer” for true professionals however any CO that acts unprofessionally is nothing more than a miserable prison guard who should be locked up if committing crimes against prisoners. Under-staffing is one of the biggest issues – and of course certain state official are enriching themselves off the maggots that are fed to prisoners in the U.P mixed with rotten, non-nutritious food.

The Michigan union that represents corrections offices does little and considers those that exposes low-staffing and inmate abuses to be on their enemy list.

The Baraga Maximum Security Prison is located at 13924 Wadaga Road in Baraga, MI. Many of the inmates who organized the riot at Kinross were sent to maximum security prisons in U.P – including many to Baraga Max – to never be heard from again.

U.P. Breaking News is publishing these lawsuits because they never win in deferral court and it is the only way to put a spotlight on Michigan extremely corrupt prisons. U.P. Breaking News has been contacted by current and former COs who fear that unprofessional conduct by Cos and staff will lead to murder and riots. If you kick a dog – it will eventually bite you.

However, MDOC has a long policy of duping and lying to the media. U.P Breaking News lost faith in the honesty of MDOC when they lied about the Kinross riot and even fooled the Marquette Mining Journal into running a false story in their Sunday edition declaring it was a minor protest by a handful of Kinross inmates marching outside the eastern U.P. prison.

Baraga Max Prison

Allegations:

Excessive force against inmates by Baraga Maximum Security Prison corrections officers
Immediate Danger to inmate
Assault and battery
Constant danger of retaliation by corrections officers
Regularly using word “nigger” to provoke inmates
Mental and physical torture

Here is the state info on the convictions – and it bears the marks of an inmate who comes to prison on a short sentence – and then is given many more years after protesting his rights and a “assault” on Baraga Max Cos.

He had petty sentences until ending up in a Michigan Prison:

Naming Names at Michigan Department of Corrections: U.P. Breaking News will now start publishing the names of those corrections officers and MDOC officials accused of corruption and serving rotten food in U.P. prisons

Rotten Michigan prison food in U.P. – and related corruption – has been documented in numerous lawsuits filed recently in federal court at Marquette, MI

The following is just one of dozens of federal lawsuits that have been filed in the U.P. about prisoner rights abuses, rotten food, and even theft of inmate money. We will be printing them all since the Michigan Dept. of Corrections seems unable to be honest.

Upper Peninsula Prison Inmate Darryl McGore – who is currently lodge at the Baraga Maximum Security Prison – has filed a lawsuit in federal court in Marquette accusing the Trinity Food group of serving rotten food to prisoners at the Marquette Branch Prison and the Bellamy Creek Correctional Facility
Inmates getting violently sick – and losing weight – due to being served/eating the food served by Trinity

The trash being fed to U.P. prisoners as MDOC officials get rich off the food sales:
Making fake meat products using old cornbread

6 day old crumbled corn bread
Rotten potatoes
Rotten five to six day old vegetables with no nutritional value
Unknown poultry/unknown meat products
Non-nutritional food “products” that are unidentifiable
Not serving a 2,700 calorie meals diet each day

The inmate is asking a federal judge in Marquette to allow an expert witness to test the terrible food served by the crooked Trinity Food Service.
U.P. Breaking News will now start publishing these lawsuits since the Michigan Department of corrections is involved in corruption and coverups including a young inmates death at Marquette Branch Prison.
The inmate is making the nasty food plea to U.S. District Court Judge Robert J. Jonker and U.S. Magistrate Judge Timothy P. Greeley in Marquette.
McGore is serving life plus 100 years for armed robbery and sexual assault.
It’s an uphill battle as a prisoner/inmate has never won a civil rights suit in federal court in Marquette, MI
This despite overwhelming evidence of corruption and unhealthy food.
U.P. Breaking News is naming names beginning today.

Sources say that the U.P. prisons are at such a breaking point that the state is putting the lives of correctional officers, staff, the public and inmates at risk

(Upper Peninsula of Michigan Prisons) – Numerous ambulance calls this month at U.P. prisons including today are the tip of the iceberg when it comes to danger to the public and others involved in the U.P. broken U.P prison.

One problem is, the U.P. media is terrified of the prisons and do not investigate. We are raising the red warning flag to Michigan State Police detectives, paramedics and other officials – who know they have been lied to by prison officials.

U.P. Breaking News stresses, we have not been information any plot of plan – just people pleading with us to warn the public about what might happen – it did last year.

We have heard from numerous sources involved on both sides of the prison bars – and all are scared something is going to happen. Not something good.

About 2 a.m. today (Nov. 21, 2017, Kinross paramedics were called the Kinross Correctional Facility for a call of chest pains.

And on Monday (Nov. 20) they transported a prison from the Chippewa Regional Correctional Facility for an inmate who was having seizures in the medical clinic.
In fact, we believe there has been one maybe two recent ambulances calls at Marquette Branch Prison that are not being publicly broadcast which seems to be the case since coverup earlier this year of a suspicious death of a young prisoner at Marquette Branch. There have been recent calls to Baraga Max (few days ago) and to recently to the Marquette Branch Prison.

If you love and inmate or a CO (forget entrenched corrupt supervisors) – you had better demand that changes are made. If the inmates are not safe – then the COs lives are at risk. When will the union wake up. The union representing the COs needs to get some guts and quit blaming U.P. Breaking News. Be courageous or go home

U.P. Breaking news is hollering about this hoping to avoid more murders at U.P. prisons. And hopefully get the state to force the corrupt food service owners to be human.

Then there were the blatant coverup and (that fooled Sunday edition of the Mining Journal and other U.P. media) of last fall’s riot at Kinross.
CO and inmate related sources tell U.P. Breaking News that is become life or death in U.P. prisons for both COs and inmates.
Numerous sources continue to say low-staffing – and some burnout or a corrupt poor structure within the CO community.
U.P. Breaking News will be revealing some shocking lawsuits shortly in our ongoing investigation involving prisons in the Eastern U.P., Marquette, Munising, Baraga in Michigan and also a separate probe in the Augusta, GA areas. Lots of lives are at stake – including the public, the inmates and the COs. Naming Names.

Editor’s note: For those who participate in coverup – do not have the guts to come forward – or will criticize our warning. We pray to our Creator that we do not have to say ‘we told you so.’ Most of the union officers close ranks – and to not understand it is their safety at risk- brute force will not fix problem. Sources please keep calling.

(Chippewa County, MI) – As a snowstorm bears down on the Upper Peninsula this morning, life was more than an Upper Peninsula Prison inmate could handle – attempting to hang himself about 4 a.m. today (Thurs. Nov. 9, 2017).

URGENT: U.P. Breaking News Prison Bulletin – U.P. inmate attempts to hang himself this morning at the Chippewa Regional Correctional Facility – Three inmates down in three days at Chippewa

This morning’s attempted hanging, was the third time in three days a Kinross EMS ambulance was called to the Chippewa Regional Correctional Facility. No word on the reasons for the first two calls.

Ambulance calls are a common thing at both state prisons in Chippewa County – prisons plagued by accusations of blatant corruption, cronyism, burned out bosses, dangerously low number of employees including corrections officers and food service staff. The prisons are among the many in the U.P. accused of serving spoiled and maggot-infested food.

U.P. Breaking News has been investigating and reporting on the coverups and dangerous under-staffing at U.P. Prisons.
