The former director of a Cleveland jail was sentenced Friday to serve nine months in the prison he once managed, the Associated Press reported.
Kenneth Mills, 56, was convicted in September on misdemeanor charges of dereliction of duty and falsification, the former for causing unsafe conditions in the jail and the latter for lying to Cuyahoga County Council about blocking the hiring of needed jail nurses. He resigned in late 2018 after six inmates died in less than five months and shortly before the U.S. Marshals Service report was released, AP reported.
"What you've done is unthinkable and callous," Cosgrove told Mills."I don't know how you can look at yourself in a mirror."The former director of a Cleveland jail was sentenced Friday to serve nine months in the prison he once managed, with prosecutors describing conditions that were unsanitary and left inmates with inedible food and little to no medical care.
Spellacy cited letters written on Mills' behalf before sentencing, and said the charges and conviction were"riddled with hypocrisy."Assistant Ohio Attorney General Matthew Meyer in a presentence report wrote that Mills' tenure as jail director harmed prisoners and corrections officers.
He got the same amount of time as a shoplifter or black guy on bail…
Oof being sentenced to time in a prison that you used to run is every warden's nightmare.
