Ex-corrections officer gets 5 years in prison for repeatedly tasing restrained detainee

Mark Bryant, a former corrections officer who worked in a Tennessee jail has been sentenced to five years in prison for using excessive force while acting under color of law. Bryant had repeatedly used a stun gun on a restrained 18-year-old detainee named Jordan Norris back on November 5, 2016.

Bryant had used the stun gun on Norris four times for a total duration of 50 seconds, leaving his skin burned and looking like"raw hamburger meat," according to one corrections officer. Afterward, Bryant directed officers not to report the incident. Bryant reportedly filed misleading reports about the incident and later gave false information about it to the FBI, according toA former corrections officer who repeatedly used a stun gun on a restrained detainee has been sentenced to five years in prison. In this June 12, 2020, a policeman wears a taser.When the incident occurred, Bryant worked as a former Cheatham County Sheriff's deputy.

During his detainment, Norris said he experienced a mental health episode that, according to police, caused him to become combative. Three officers handcuffed Norris and restrained him to a chair with leather restraints binding his wrists, ankles and waist. Norris struggled as officers also placed a spit hood over his head.

Video of the incident shows Bryant repeatedly using his stun gun on Norris and at one point telling him,"I'll keep on doing it until I run out of batteries."

Makes me wonder how many prison guards get away with it because they lie about the incident in their reports. pamelacolloff
