'Just let them die': Ohio prison staff sued for allegedly allowing a white supremacist inmate to stab four black inmates with a homemade blade while they were left handcuffed to a table

Four inmates - Shamieke Pugh, Maurice Lee, Dontez Hollis and Daryl Pascol - were sitting together, handcuffed to a table. Greg Reinke, another inmate, slipped out of his handcuffs, pulled a homemade blade out of his shocks and began stabbing the men.
Correctional officers stayed behind a closed door allegedly laughing and debating letting the men die. Guards entered the area after one of the victims got out of his cuffs and tackled Reinke to the ground.
The lawsuit, filed by Pugh and Lee, allege that officers strip-searched the four men but not Reinke and either gave him a key to his cuffs or knew he had one.
Reinke was sentenced to 54 years for the attack and is currently on a hunger strike, saying he is being mistreated by guards.
EDITOR’S NOTE: It must have been a puny shank.

Key word in this article is the word "allege." If what is "alleged" is true, then a crime was committed. But those of us who have worked inside the walls know that allegations such as this are not all that uncommon.
