Hi, My name is Lamont Harrison Jr. I was brutally beaten and maced while handcuffed on May 28, 2019 at MCTC. The officers at MCTC in Hagerstown,MD beat me with only my underwear and boots on in a shower room.

I was beaten by multiple officers they stomped my head into the floor, slammed my head into the sink, choked me and broke my glasses while on my face. I was left without medical treatment.

I had a visit with my mother which I was given a jumpsuit to wear for and later was visited by the warden. 

The warden named Richard Dovey came to me and said “You’re not dying are you? Your mother came to see you yesterday. She’s calling as if you’re on your deathbed” I told him “Just being I’m not dying doesn’t mean I’m not badly hurt and need medical attention”. The warden told me to tell my mother to stop calling or he will get rid of me.

After my visit with the warden I was visited by Officer Crilly in my cell who told me I had two options 1. To sign a ticket saying that I spit on an officer and was at fault or 2. He could leave me in a cell (as I already was) with no property and treat me like the dog I was by forcing me to get on my knees for every meal that would be placed through the slot in my cell. I didn’t agree to these two options and I was still handed a ticket and the next day shipped off.

After the incident MCTC had me shipped off to WCI in Cumberland,MD as a way to hide me from my family and to prevent me from getting justice. The Captain at WCI refused to be a part of MCTC injustice because there were no transportation paperwork or new charges for my move.

Upon WCI refusal to involve in something illegal I was transferred to NBCI in Cumberland,MD. I was placed in a segregated cell without a working toilet  and there was feces on the walls and floor. My Jumpsuit was taken from me so this happened to me with only my underwear and boots on. Clothes were never given to me during this process. I refused to eat because I knew that was my way to get my voice heard because they’ll have to report it outside the prison.

WCI is western correctional institution and NBCI is north branch correction institution. During the transfers I was not in contact with family because they didn’t know where I was located. My family later found me with promises to sue if they were not aware of my location.

MCTC said they deleted the camera tapes 30 days after May 28, 2019. But they discharged mace so it has to be recorded.Help me get justice for this injustice. Help me by signing this petition and bringing light to a voice in the dark.
