Overview
- Prosecutors said Tuesday that Francisco Izayas Castillo received a 45-day county jail sentence, with a surrender date set for June 9.
- The case stems from a Sept. 21, 2022 attack inside a cell that two inmates carried out after Castillo opened the door while a third inmate stood guard.
- Authorities say the inmates told Castillo of their plan about 30 minutes earlier, he told them to “handle it,” and he made rubber gloves available.
- After the assault, prosecutors say Castillo silenced the victim’s emergency alert, left his body camera off, and failed to call for medical help or report the attack.
- Another guard found the victim injured on the next shift, the three inmates were later convicted and Castillo was fired, and his attorney says he will appeal.
