BURGIN, Ky. — Staff at a Kentucky prison are not only complicit in gang activity but earn a cut of the Aryan Brotherhood’s profits in exchange for allowing the white supremacist gang to operate inside the facility, an inmate claims in a new federal lawsuit.
Christopher Applegate, who pleaded guilty to possessing child pornography and is now an inmate at the Northpoint Training Center in Burgin, Kentucky, has filed suit against over a dozen prison officials, claiming they ignored his abuse at the hands of the Aryan Brotherhood.
The suit claims guards refused to relocate Applegate because “the Correctional Officers at Northpoint Training Center are complicit in aiding the Aryan Brotherhood and other gangs in return for a portion of the funds the gangs make dealing and in extorting other prisoners for protection,” as quoted by Courthouse News.
