CRANSTON, Rhode Island — Another Corrections Officer working at the Adult Correctional Institutions in Cranston has been threatened, according to the Rhode Island Brotherhood of Correctional Officers, the union representing COs.
On March 31, an officer at the medium security facility was threatened — the third time a CO has been threatened in less than two weeks, RIBCO said in a release. Inmate Jose Pacheco allegedly wrote a threatening letter to an officer who recognized his handwriting.
Pacheco, a gang member, was taken into custody and transported to segregation. A strip search on Pacheco revealed a razor blade wrapped up in paper in his sock.
