Former Milwaukee County Correctional Officer Sentenced To 30 Days

A former correctional officer at the Milwaukee County Jail will serve 30 days after pleading guilty to one count of obstructing an officer.  James Ramsey-Guy told the court he doesn’t dispute the contention of prosecutors that he lied during an inquest.  Ramsey-Guy was one of the correctional officers involved in the death of inmate Terrill Thomas in 2016.  Ramsey-Guy turned off the water to Thomas’ cell as punishment after the inmate flooded the cell.  Thomas was found dead after 10 days without water.
