A former prisoner transport guard has pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting inmates in his custody, facing up to life in prison. Marquet Johnson, who worked for Inmate Services Corporation, admitted to raping an inmate during a cross-country trip in Albuquerque in 2019. His plea deal comes after several victims came forward to federal investigators with similar stories. While the plea carries a sentencing range of 27 to 30 years, it does not include charges for the other victims. Nevertheless, the case highlights the need for increased attention and regulation in the underregulated transport industry. Attorney Laura Schauer Ives, representing one of the survivors, emphasized that these companies should not exist and accountability should lie with government actors. The survivor is still owed $6 million from her civil lawsuit against Johnson and his former employer. This harrowing case underscores the urgent need for better protection and oversight of vulnerable individuals in custody.
