News summary

In April, Justin Avery, a 29-year-old inmate at the Maricopa County intake facility in Arizona, was caught on surveillance crawling past a security guard to the women's side of the jail, where he intended to sexually assault a female inmate. Avery, who was already in custody for allegedly assaulting five women near Arizona State University, admitted to planning the attack, describing his approach as 'like a spider' and expressing attraction to a woman's 'fat a--.' The incident, lasting under two minutes, was interrupted when another female inmate screamed for help, alerting the guards who quickly intervened. Following the event, Avery faced additional charges of sexual assault and the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office has implemented measures to improve monitoring in the facility. This disturbing case has drawn significant attention, highlighting the vulnerabilities in inmate safety within correctional facilities.
