Correctional officer files complaint against judge
Michael Mohr walks the concrete corridors of California State Prison, Sacramento, in Folsom. As a correctional officer, he has to keep his senses alert, his reflexes acute. He didn't expect to be "assaulted," he said, by a judge. But Mohr said he found himself in that position last week, when he came before Commissioner Christopher Longaker in Sacramento's small claims court.
Mohr's claim: mental anguish caused by a convicted murderer serving life who hurled bodily fluids – known in prison as "gassing" – at the officer last fall. […] The commissioner called Mohr's claim "laughable" and said it was in Mohr's job description to expect to be assaulted and "slapped around," the prison officer recalled.
