Slain Stillwater CO Joseph Gomm's family forced to sue

Joseph Gomm was murdered in his capacity as a Correctional Officer at Stillwater Prison MCF. Beat to death with a hammer while other inmates held the doors to keep help out.

After 3 years Minnesota Lawmakers failed to approve a $3 million settlement. Contrast that with the $27 million paid to George Floyd's family!

Now the family is suing MINNCOR industries for $50,000. According to the Star Tribune MINNCOR had a long record of prioritizing production over Corrections Officers rights. There were no security cameras in the shop area and it was understaffed.

This is a dark stain of injustice on the State of Minnesota.
