**Man Alleges Jailers Assaulted Him, Resulting in Severe Knee Injury**
In a shocking incident that has raised serious questions about the treatment of inmates, a local man has come forward with allegations that jail guards assaulted him, leaving him with a broken knee. The man, identified as Marcus Jenkins, 32, claims the violent encounter took place while he was incarcerated at the City Jail last month.
In a cell phone video shared with the media, Jenkins can be seen recounting the grim details of what he describes as an unprovoked attack by correctional officers. “I was just asking for my medication when they threw me to the ground,” Jenkins said. “They started punching me, and I heard a loud pop in my knee. It felt like they wanted to break me.”
According to Jenkins, the incident escalated quickly after he asked about his medication. Eyewitnesses, fellow inmates, corroborate his claim, stating that they witnessed guards use excessive force during the altercation. “It was brutal. They just kept hitting him,” one inmate, who wished to remain anonymous, said.
Jenkins, who now relies on crutches for mobility, has filed a formal complaint against the jail and plans to pursue legal action. His attorney, Maria Sanchez, emphasized the severity of the allegations. “No one should endure such treatment while in custody. We are seeking accountability for these actions,” she stated.
As the investigation unfolds, the jail has announced that it will conduct a thorough review of the incident. Community advocates are calling for reforms, insisting that safety protocols must be strengthened to prevent such violence against inmates. As Jenkins continues to recover, he remains determined to seek justice for what he describes as a brutal violation of his rights.
