Ex-D.C. Corrections Officer Sentenced for Assaulting Handcuffed Inmate

Marcus Bias receives 42 months in prison for civil rights violation after injuring a restrained detainee in 2019.

Marcus Bias, 28, was sentenced for slamming a handcuffed inmate's head into a metal doorframe.
The detainee required a neck brace and stitches but later died of unrelated causes.
Bias initially claimed the inmate 'fell' into the doorframe, a statement disproven by video evidence.
The incident occurred when the detainee was being escorted to a medical unit after being pepper-sprayed.
Bias was fired after the incident and expressed remorse, citing poor judgment and lack of training.
