\r\nFormer inmate Hanni Elabed is shown during a July 26 interview in Boise, Idaho. Elabed suffered brain damage and persistent short-term memory loss after he was beaten by another inmate while multiple guards watched at the Idaho prison operated by Corrections Corporation of America.\r\n<\/small><\/td><\/tr><\/table>\r\nThe surveillance video from the overhead cameras shows Hanni Elabed\r\nbeing beaten by a fellow inmate in an Idaho prison, managing to bang\r\non a prison guard station window, pleading for help. Behind the glass,\r\ncorrectional officers look on, but no one intervenes when Elabed is\r\nknocked unconscious.\r\n

\r\nNo one steps into the cellblock when the attacker sits down to rest,\r\nand no one stops him when he resumes the beating.\r\n

\r\nVideos of the attack obtained by The Associated Press show officers\r\nwatching the beating for several minutes. The footage is a key piece\r\nof evidence for critics who claim the privately run Idaho Correctional\r\nCenter uses inmate-on-inmate violence to force prisoners to snitch on\r\ntheir cellmates or risk being moved to extremely violent units.\r\n

\r\nOn Tuesday, hours after the AP published the video, the top federal\r\nprosecutor in Idaho told the AP that the FBI has been investigating\r\nwhether guards violated the civil rights of inmates at the prison,\r\nwhich is run by the Corrections Corporation of America.\r\n<\/blockquote>\r\nWhat is the inmates’ nickname for this CCA-run prison?\r\nGladiator school.\r\n

\r\nThere is a lot more in\r\n\r\nthe article.<\/a>\r\n
