The Associated Press has filed a motion seeking to protect public access to records detailing the treatment of a Tennessee death row inmate.
Henry Hodges has accused the state of cruel and unusual punishment for keeping him tied down with restraints on a thin vinyl mattress over a concrete slab after his return from the hospital, where surgeons reattached his penis. He was immobilized — at one point for six hours straight — despite discharge orders from Vanderbilt University Medical Center that he avoid sitting for more than two hours at a time, according to court filings, which don’t mention whether that also includes lying down.
“The disclosure of any such photographs, videos, or other recordings could pose a severe security risk to both inmates and staff,” according to an affidavit by Ernest Lewis, the associate warden of security at the Riverbend Maximum Security Institute. Specifically, the recordings might show the interior layout of the prison, including windows and doors, Lewis said.tap here to see other videos from our teamHodges opposes the protective order.
