An inmate who twice escaped from the Pueblo County jail filed a federal lawsuit Thursday, alleging that guards abused him and didn't do enough to stop him from breaking out.

The lawsuit, which seeks an unspecified amount of money, claims authorities "did next to nothing to ensure that the jail was secure and that the Plaintiff could not escape." Reading between the lines I suspect that what Scott Anthony Gomez, Jr. (the escapee) is really saying is that, if he wasn't subjected to abuse, he wouldn't try so hard to escape.

That's where the Dumb Justice tag comes in.

But, Gomez, who claims that that guards have sprayed him with pepper spray, shot him with a stun gun, and beaten and kicked him without provocation, needs to get realistic here. With this history, it is highly likely that guards will take an almost failsafe move to prevent another escape - by breaking both of his legs.
