White prison guard gang harassed and tormented Black guards on staff.
Black correctional officers in the Maryland Correctional Training Center claim white guards have been racially abusing them in the workplace.
“Black correctional officers from the Maryland Correctional Training Center in Hagerstown, Maryland, filed a lawsuit alleging that a group of white guards fostered a hostile working environment.
According to the lawsuit filed in July, a gang of white guards calling themselves “40 West” discriminated against immigrant and Black employees at the correctional facility.”
