CHICAGO, Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — With consumer fraud still a vastly underreported crime, individuals need to take steps to report scams and cons as quickly as possible. The more people report, the more likely it is that fraudsters will be arrested, charged and convicted according to AARP\’s latest Fraud Watch Alert. Whether a complex long con or a simple theft of your personal information, fraud can happen to anyone and unfortunately too many people who have been scammed out of their hard-earned money, suffer their losses alone and in silence.

There was never any dispute that Rocrast Mack, a 24-year-old serving time on drug charges in a state prison in Alabama, died at the hands of corrections officers in 2010. What wasn’t immediately clear was how and why the inmate sustained a lethal beating.

What was known was this: On August 4, 2010, a female corrections officer confronted Mack in his bunk, accused him of inappropriate behavior, and struck him. Mack retaliated, the officer radioed for help, more officers arrived, and Mack was beaten in three separate prison locations over a 40-minute period. He died the next day from his injuries. Guards claimed Mack was fighting them throughout the ordeal and sustained his fatal injuries in a fall.
