An Avondale man, Morris Gary Hibbitt, has been sentenced to 13 months in prison for the sexual abuse of an inmate.
Hibbitt’s sentence is to be followed by 10 years of supervised release. He is also required to register as a sex offender.
According to the Department of Justice, on May 21, 2023, while on duty as the Security Supervisor at Behavioral Systems Southwest (BSS) in Phoenix, Hibbitt sexually assaulted a female inmate under his supervision. BSS is a residential reentry center contracted by the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) to aid inmates in their transition back into the community while completing their prison sentences. Inmates at BSS are in official detention and remain under the custodial authority of the BOP.
If this had been a man of color he would have been given life in prison but this is the America that we have known for hundreds of years. So sad!
I hope he gets to experience what he did during his 13 month sentence, which was not nearly long enough for the severity of his crime.
If this man had been a man of color, he would have been given a life sentence especially if his victim was white. So sad but it’s America and this type of injustice is standard procedure for white America. Of coarse this is just my opinion. Millions feel differently!
