BRUTAL PRISON GUARDS CHARGED

Five prison guards have been charged with conspiracy after prisoners
complained they were disciplined by being put a cell with a 17-stone
homosexual.

In return for raping and beating the prisoners, convicted murderer
Wayne Robertson was given extra food and tennis shoes, he told
investigators.

A grand jury was told that seven inmates at Corcoran State Prison in
California, were killed during six years of terror by a gang of guards
known as the Sharks.
