Special Review into the Shooting of Inmate Daniel Provencio (Wasco State Prison)

From the Introduction section of the Auditor's report:
This report presents the results of a special review conducted by the Office of the Inspector General's Bureau of Independent Review into the circumstances surrounding the death of inmate Daniel Provencio at the Wasco State Prison-Reception Center (Wasco) and of the several investigations that followed. The incident began on January 16, 2005 when a fight broke out between two inmates who were finishing their evening meal. As officers attempted to gain control of the situation, Provencio inserted himself into the incident and was struck once in the head by a 40mm direct-impact "sponge," or rubber-like, projectile. The resulting head wound to Provencio caused him to lapse into a coma approximately 45 minutes later and caused his eventual death on March 4, 2005.

The Office of Internal Affairs of the California Department of Corrections conducted a criminal investigation into the incident and found no criminal misconduct by Wasco employees.
