NEW CASTLE, Ind.Jan 31 2009 – A guard at a state prison in New Castle faces charges that he helped an inmate escape by silencing a door alarm at a minimum security dorm.
The Indiana Department of Correction says that 38-year-old Maurice Melton of Indianapolis has been suspended without pay from his job at the New Castle Correctional Facility following his arrest on a felony charge of aiding an escape.
Melton works for The GEO Group, the company that operates the prison.
