Murderer Seeks $50m Damages For Being Called An Inmate – Says It Implies He Has Sex With Men
MARIE Domond is suing the New York State Correctional Services Department for calling her brother, murderer Gerard Domond, an inmate at the Clinton Correctional Facility.
She says the word inmate “implies that our brother is locked up for the purpose of mating with other men“. She is seeking $50 million for damages for “mental anguish”. The prisoner is serving a 25-year jail term for shooting a man in the head.
Says Marie:
“The suggestive nature of the word is disgraceful. This cruel psychological programming has weighed heavily on our emotional and psychological well-being. It’s something that’s bothered me for a long time. I couldn’t understand why no one recognized that somebody being labelled an inmate, why they wouldn’t recognize that. To me it just sounded very wrong.”
Anorak wonders what inmates at a British chokey think of this – and if the mating at HMP Downview is rougher..?
