Jose V. Rivera

Today’s episode is about the life and ultimate sacrifice of 22-year-old Correctional Officer Jose V. Rivera, a Navy veteran who was tragically killed by two inmates at USP Atwater on June 20, 2008. Relying strictly on the official history preserved by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, we recount the fateful afternoon headcount that resulted in the very first staff murder in the history of the facility. Once again, although pointed out in the introduction, I will say the following: I am NOT a representative of the Federal Bureau of Prisons. All I am doing is reading what is available publicly at www.bop.gov.

The episode focuses on the events of the attack, the dangers faced by correctional staff working inside federal institutions, and the lasting impact the incident had within the Bureau of Prisons. Officer Williams is remembered as one of the federal correctional officers who made the ultimate sacrifice in the performance of his duties, and this episode reflects on the risks and realities of working in corrections while honoring his memory and service.

Transporting an inmate to a hospital for treatment is fairly run of the mill. This time, however, it was anything but. Welcome to Sensitive But Unclassified's only fallen hero who was murdered while on medical transport duty in a botched escape plan.

Apologies for the 2 weeks of silence! Spring break made it virtually impossible to get any real recording done around here. Anyway... We're led to believe that because it, "isn't a penitentiary," that FCI Oxford is a safer, run-of-the-mill place. Maybe it was once, but not after three inmates decided that an officer was going to die.
