AZ DOC fires 13 officers for not doing their jobs
The video evidence is damning, in a clip taken at Perryville women's prison in August shows a corrections officer looking into the cell of 25-year-old Cynthia Apkaw, a woman serving time for aggravated assault. The officer sees Apkaw hanging from the ceiling where she used a bed sheet and tied it to an overhead vent, something that patrolling corrections officers should have seen happening, but they didn't, because they were not there.
