Captain Nauvella Lacroix covered in shit
The Rikers Island inmate who doused a city correction captain with feces
has twice tried to escape from the jail — and has repeatedly attacked
officers at the lockup because he faces little discipline, the president
of the Correction Captains’ Association told The Post Sunday.
Arthur Brown, who smothered Captain Nauvella Lacroix with feces on Wednesday, made two daring escape attempts from the jail complex last June, Patrick Ferraiuolo, the president of the CCA, told The Post.
During the first attempt, Brown made it as far as the East River before he was captured.
In his second try, Brown scrambled up a fence
and eventually made his way onto a roof where he sat shirtless for 30
minutes in a stare-down with prison officers at ground-level before he
was nabbed.

Brown is now confined in a new, specialized unit at Rikers for
alleged criminals who need special oversight that was created as a pilot
program as the Department of Corrections
works to phase out solitary confinement, Ferraiuolo said
He added that Brown has apparently “exhausted his time in punitive
segregation” and has attacked at least six other DOC staffers, including
three captains, with feces because he knows he won’t be moved anywhere
else, Ferraiuolo said.
“He’s going to continue to do this because there’s no ramifications behind it,” the president said.
“He basically is doing it because he knows he can get away with it
and he just wants to embarrass people and he’s just kind of spreading
the love as far as other inmates are concerned because they’re seeing
‘hey this guy does this and there’s no sanctions behind something like
this,’ it’s just a little more information,” he continued.
“That’s his motive, ‘because I can.’ ”
Brown, who’s locked up for allegedly beating up two NYPD cops, has a
long history of throwing feces at correction staff. When he was
originally booked on assault charges in 2019, he hurled human waste at
an officer while inside central booking at the Manhattan criminal
courthouse, court records show.
Two days later, he was charged again for allegedly punching and
trying to choke a court officer at central booking, sources previously
told The Post.
Given Brown’s history, Ferraiuolo said the most recent incident against Lacroix never should’ve happened.
When an inmate behaves that way and throws feces at uniformed staff,
he needs to be isolated, he needs to be put in punitive segregation,
there should be no exhausting of time when it comes to an inmate this
violent and this dangerous,” Ferraiuolo fumed.
“Yet, they continue to coddle the inmate. Not only has he not been
put in punitive segregation, he remains in the same housing area where
he has assaulted three of my captains with feces and other staff
members.”
The incident comes as the DOC is working to combat
a number of staff resignations due to dangerously long work hours,
“inhumane conditions” and short staffing.
The DOC didn’t return a request for comment.

I would quit immediately and move out of that shithole.
In the old days that guy would have done that once, after which he would have found it difficult to throw much with two broken arms wh9le sitting in a wheel chair. That was then. THIS is now.
