A former inmate at Topeka Correctional Facility won a $2.25 million judgment in U.S. District Court against a one-time prison employee involved in a scandal that contributed to change in state law on sexual relations with prisoners.
U.S. District Court Judge Daniel Crabtree issued the ruling against defendant Ananstacio Gallardo for $750,000 in actual damages and $1.5 million in punitive damages for his assault of inmate Tracy Keith.
