ALJ finds correction officers used excessive force.
Two correction officers were charged with improperly entering a punitive segregation inmate's cell, using excessive force, failing to report the force incident, failing to obtain medical attention for the inmate, and making false reports and statements. Respondents contended that the inmate was fully compliant with their orders and they denied that they used any force.
