Ombudsman Kate Burkhart has released a public summary of the investigation of a complaint that correctional officers used excessive force on three inmates at Anchorage Correctional Complex. In November, 2017, an inmate contacted the Ombudsman to report that he had, that morning, been inappropriately sprayed with oleoresin capsicum (OC or pepper spray) by a group of correctional officers. After an extensive investigation, the Ombudsman found the complaint justified and made 11 recommendations to resolve the deficiencies identified by the investigation.
