Bristol County Sheriff Thomas Hodgson personally attacked an ICE detainee today.
"The sheriff attacked me, he was out of his mind, I saw the devil in his eyes. I told everyone in the unit... don’t be violent, take the punch.”

What kind of warden takes to the front lines when a tactical team storms in with dogs and tear gas to break up a protest over unsafe conditions?
The very worst kind.
The very worst kind.
Tomorrow Sheriff Hodgson will tell you at a press conference that the violent criminal aliens in his custody had gotten out of hand and had to be subdued.
All they wanted was to be tested for #covid19 w/o risking contamination by traveling through the jail.

Under the leadership of Thomas Hodgson, the Bristol County Jail has been our Commonwealth's greatest carceral shame for decades now. This sadistic cowboy needs to be removed from office, and this place needs to be shut down unless and until a competent professional can run it.
Hodgson & his shock troops stormed a peaceful protest, assaulted and abused detainees with pepper spray, cut off the phones. Hodgson attacked Marco Battistotti, one of the detainees who signed this desperate letter as #covid19 first entered the facility
I'd heard stories from people in there over the years of the staff's regular abuse, practically torture.
I've been to nearly every jail in Massachusetts to visit clients in both criminal and immigration custody. Never heard stories like this. Total impunity.

Hodgson, already infamous as the Joe Arpaio of Massachusett, was recently exposed for the unrequited passion of his attempted correspondence with #StephenMiller. Just a ghoul, standing in front of a boy...
If not for the detainees brave enough to call to give their accounts and the advocates standing by to get the word out, you would only be hearing the sheriff's lies about this assault. @wbz just reprinted it as gospel, very nearly truth-free
