Rikers inmate attacks jail captain with Feces
A Big Apple jail captain was attacked by a Rikers Island inmate and smothered in feces, law enforcement sources told The Post.
Captain Nauvella Lacroix was working the night shift on Wednesday around 9:45 p.m. when inmate Arthur Brown started hurling the brown muck at him from inside his cell, hitting the captain in the face and the torso area, internal records show.
Lacroix, who’s been with the city Department of Corrections for almost nine years, had been conducting a tour of the cells when the attack occurred, the records state.
“This shows the continuing lack of respect the officers get, day in day and day out, from the inmates and the higher ups don’t back them.”
The DOC has been grappling with a staggering surge of resignations from correctional staff, many of whom jumped shift to the NYPD amid “inhumane treatment,” dangerously long hours and unsafe working conditions, the president of the Correction Officers’ Benevolent Association told John Catsimatidis on his radio show Sunday.
