TheWBALChannel.com - News - Prison Memo Outlines Stricter Rules For Pepper Spray Use: "State prison commissioner Frank Sizer has reportedly announced stricter guidelines for the use of pepper spray by prison guards.
In a recent internal memo obtained by The (Baltimore) Sun, Sizer says only a warden or assistant warden can now authorize using chemical agents on inmates held in segregation units. Previously, a senior correctional supervisor could approve its use.
The policy change came about two months after an inmate at a prison near Cumberland died after he was subdued with three cans of pepper spray."
