There was one death reported due to illness. Detainee Rodriguez-Torres, Felix, #b2High, b6,b7c was transported to the hospital on 12-28-06. He was pronounced dead at the Maricopa Medical Center on 1-18-07. Rod res, Felix died due to multiple system failures because of cancer. b6,b7c EDC self reported five sexual assaults during the past year. Female detainee alleged she was assaulted b6,b7c b6,b7c by female detainee when b6,b7c inserted her finger into vagina for approximately two minutes. The incident was forwarded to law enforcement authorities and the prosec d there was not enough evidence to b6,b7c prosecute. Detainee was being pressured for sex by detainee . Detainee b6,b7c b6,b7c b6,b7c reported the in inees were immediately isolated and an investigation was implemented accord policy. Three other incidents were reported as sexual assault when detainees were found kissing or fondling one another. These actions do not meet the definition of assault in that they were not a violent act. Both detainees were willfully engaging in the act and the reporting should be less than a sexual assault i.e., Inappropriate Contact with Another. This would ensure a more accurate reporting of serious incidents. EDC reported nine detainees on staff physical assaults. All nine incidents were of detainees throwing ice, water, an unknown substance and one incident of feces onto the officers while they were feeding detainees or passing something through the food slot in the Special Management Units. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx FOR OFFICIA © 2007 Creative Corrections, LLC (Rev. 12/8/07) T SENSITIVE) Page 4 of 5 EDC reported 86 detainees on detainee assault during the past year.
