Jury Awards $4 Million to Ex-Maryland Inmate Who Was Brutally Beaten in 2017 Prison Attack

A Baltimore County Circuit Court jury has awarded $4 million in damages to a former state prison inmate who was brutally beaten by three other inmates at the Maryland Correctional Training Center in 2017, according to his attorney.

Cary Hansel, an attorney for the former inmate, Michael Young, said the jury found the state of Maryland, the center’s former warden and a corrections officer responsible for damages arising from a Christmas Day 2017 attack on his client.

Hansel said Young was attacked in full view of a corrections officer after he had complained about sexual harassment by a guard at the state prison in Hagerstown.
