The continued failure of the electronic system has complicated efforts to provide inmates with the latest Covid-19 booster shot.

The killing of inmate Bronson Nunuha by another prisoner in 2010 was “especially cruel,” according to the 12-member jury.

A jury will decide whether Miti Maugaotega Jr. should be executed for the gang-related murder of Bronson Nunuha in 2010.

An Arizona jury last week found prisoner Miti Maugaotega Jr. guilty of first-degree murder and will now decide if he should be executed, sparking controversy in Hawaii.

Another jail guard was previously sentenced to 12 years in prison while two others are scheduled for sentencing in January.

Lawyers for women who were sexually abused say they will ask a federal judge to overturn the jury’s decision.

The former and current Women’s Community Correctional Center inmates were assaulted by guards, and their lawyer alleged the warden failed to protect them.

Something must be done about Hawaii’s overcrowded and run-down jails, or the courts may finally force the state to act.

Critics of Hawaii’s criminal justice policies have argued for years this state locks up too many people unnecessarily. The pandemic tested that idea.

This is the second federal trial in the civil case dealing with claims by women inmates who say they were assaulted in the control booths of the facility.
