Former Hays State inmate says he was raped, sues warden, other prison officials

Hays State Prison in Trion, Ga.

Alfred Days

When he regained consciousness on the bathroom floor, Alfred Days felt men punching him, kicking him, stomping on him.

But he couldn’t see anything in Hays State Prison in Trion, Ga. Someone had pulled his sweater over his face, blinding him, only increasing his ability to hear.

“Snitches get stitches!” someone yelled, according to Days.

Then he heard the snap of wood breaking. A broomstick. The men grabbed his legs, he said. They pulled down his pants.

That was in December. Seven months later, on July 15, an attorney filed an amended complaint in U.S. District Court, taking over the civil case that Days started himself in April. Days is suing Hays State Warden Scott Crickmar, Deputy Warden Alisa Hammock and a member of the medical department whom he has referred to only as “Dr. Hill.”
