"Please take me out! I can't take it anymore!" screamed Darren Rainey, a schizophrenic man serving time in prison for cocaine possession — as he kicked the door of the scalding hot shower repeatedly — while four guards stood just outside for fully two hours, laughing sadistically at his agonizing pain.
"The shower was itself neither dangerous nor unsafe," the report states. "The evidence does not show that Rainey's well-being was grossly disregarded by the correctional staff."
"It's important to note that all Rundle had to do to show that she cared was to charge the prison guards with a crime. It is up to a jury to assess guilt. Despite the fact that a man died in a shower, and that multiple witnesses said they saw burns on his body and heard screaming, Rundle didn't think there was enough evidence to bring criminal charges."
Where the state attorney failed to equate searing a man's flesh with scorching water to the point skin slipped off upon contact has investigative reporters and whistleblowers baffled.
"They're gonna cover this up," a nurse told Harriet Krzykowski, a psychiatric technician, on the nature of Rainey's death the morning after the fatal shower.
