Notable incidents

The victim inmate, who the Bureau of Prisons did not identify, suffered a fractured skull and an intracranial hemorrhage which resulted in long-term disabilities including seizures, loss of speech, and an inability to move his right extremities. Gallegos-Velazquez subsequently pleaded guilty to assault resulting in serious bodily injury and was sentenced an additional 51 months in prison and ordered to pay over $158,000 in restitution.[2][3]
