The US Government is investigating the conditions within facilities operated by the Colorado Department of Corrections(CDOC) where Tina Peters is being persecuted.
After Tina Peters has endured months of abuse in the jails and prisons in Colorado, the federal government is investigating the CDOC prison facilities.
The Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced Monday that it has opened a civil investigation into conditions within facilities operated by the Colorado Department of Corrections (CDOC) and Colorado Department of Youth Services (DYS) due to the treatment of former Republican clerk and recorder in Mesa County, Tina Peters.
Peters, 70, was sentenced to a whopping nine years in prison after she was convicted on multiple felony and misdemeanor counts relating to a “security breach” surrounding the state’s voting data in 2021. During a statewide software update ordered by Colorado Secretary of State Jena Griswold, Peters allegedly allowed an unauthorized individual to access secure election systems and create copies of hard drives containing 2020 election data.
The Justice Department shared this yesterday:
Today, the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division announced that it has opened a civil investigation into conditions within facilities operated by the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC) and Colorado Department of Youth Services (DYS). The investigation will examine DOC and DYS policies and practices to ensure that DOC inmates and youths in the custody of DYS are being afforded their rights under the U.S. Constitution and federal law.
“The Constitution protects every American, whether they are a young person confined in a juvenile facility or an elderly person confined to a prison,” said Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon of the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division. “We are committed to upholding our federal civil rights laws so that no one is subject to unconstitutional mistreatment when held in state custody.”
The Division has not reached any conclusions regarding allegations in this matter. The Division will investigate DOC and DYS pursuant to its authority to enforce the Civil Rights of Institutionalized Persons Act (CRIPA). Under CRIPA, the Department has the authority to investigate violations of prisoners’ constitutional rights that result from a “pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of such rights.” The department has conducted CRIPA investigations of many correctional systems, and where violations have been found, the resulting settlement agreements have led to important reforms. The Division will also investigate DOC under the Religious Land Use and Institutionalized Persons Act of 2000 (RLUIPA), 42 U.S.C. § 2000cc, and DYS under Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, 34 U.S.C. § 12601.
