A former Lieutenant at the Federal Prison Complex in Beaumont has pleaded guilty to
aiding and abetting another corrections officer at the complex in his assault on an inmate.
32-year old Khristal Ford opened the door of a medical observation cell and told a senior
corrections officer to “take care of it”. The inmate was punched in the head three times.
Ford, who will be sentenced at a later date, faces up to 10 years in federal prison and a
$250,000 fine.
