Former B.C. Gang Associate Sues Surrey Pretrial Centre Staff Saying He Was Beaten For Hours

The Canadian Press, 15 Sep, 2015 01:04 PM
    SURREY, B.C. — An inmate has filed a lawsuit against the B.C. government and corrections staff at the Surrey Pretrial Centre where he alleges his screams were ignored during a five-hour beating.
     
    Daniel Cunningham says in his notice of civil claim that he was repeatedly punched, kicked and stomped on and had his head forced into a toilet in an attempt to drown him. 
     
    Cunningham says two fellow inmates led him to a cell near a guard's control desk before he was assaulted and knocked unconscious at least three times.
     
    The former Red Scorpions gang associate who is now in protective custody says he suffered a brain injury, multiple broken bones, chipped teeth and facial lacerations as a result of the attack in June.
     
    He says other inmates on the unit yelled at the attackers to kill him but staff did not intervene until his cellmate activated an alarm from another cell.
     
    None of the allegations have been proven in court and the provincial government hasn't returned a request for comment.
