The State has been ordered to pay $120,000 in compensation to a former inmate who was beaten by a group of prison officers during a 2020 riot at the Golden Grove State Prison in Arouca.
High Court Judge Sherlanne Pierre ordered the compensation for Curdell Britto, as she upheld his assault and battery case last week.
The lawsuit stemmed from an incident at the prison on March 17, 2020, while Britto was on remand.
