Across the street at Marcy Correctional Facility, several corrections officers beat inmate Robert L. Brooks to death late last year on an exam table in the prison infirmary. Ten employees were recently indicted in the case, with six facing a murder charge. At least six more employees could be charged.

A 23-year-old inmate who died at Waupun Correctional Institution on Tuesday marks at least the seventh at the maximum-security facility in two years.
