ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) – Monroe County Sheriff Todd Baxter spoke out Tuesday about the incident at Marcy Correctional Facility near Utica, where Greece resident Robert Brooks died after being beaten by staff as an inmate there. He reiterated his disgust with the actions of the prison staff, while also trying to assure the public that the local jail offers a far safer experience for inmates. "We spend a lot of time just walking the hallways in the last couple weeks, walking the aisles, talking with the inmate population just to reassure them we'll take care of grievances, what you saw in Marcy is not us, you know us," Baxter said. "We think it's deplorable. We don't think it's by any means the standard of a law enforcement officer, no one does." Autopsy details Robert Brooks’ multiple injuries from deadly beating: Court paperwork 14 people were allegedly involved in the deadly beating at Marcy, which was caught on body camera footage. That footage has since been released by the Attorney General's office, which has since removed itself from the case. "There were 14 people allegedly involved, not one or two. People might look at that and say, 'is that emblematic of the mentality within our prisons and jails in New York State even if they don't take action,'" Baxter said. The incident has since gone national, with pushback from advocates across the country demanding justice. Just last week, the Brooks Family joined advocates for a rally outside the Monroe County Jail where inmates flashed cell lights in solidarity despite the jail having nothing to do with what happened at Marcy. ‘Catalyst for change’: Brooks Family speaks publicly for first time after deadly Marcy beating "The fact is, we're a central location where people are incarcerated, a central location for that. So, people came here to grieve. People came here to express their frustration, and we champion that," said Baxter. "We appreciate the fact that they're here, they're frustrated, they're angry, there's memorials there outside of the jail. We leave those there out of respect for that family, I can't imagine what they're going through." 13 of those allegedly involved in the beating of Brooks were correction officers. They were all suspended without pay. One of them has since resigned. A nurse was also suspended without pay. "I'm looking at that and I'm looking at a culture, that's not a one off. I looked at a sergeant in that scenario, a guy with chevrons on his sleeve, he was literally being pushed out of the way, 'step aside boss,' so who's in control of that chaotic situation that turned into a criminal situation," Baxter said. "Everyone was calm, everyone was almost standard operating procedure." ‘He thought he would die that day’: Marcy CO allegedly involved in deadly beating named in separate lawsuit Shortly after the fatal beating of Brooks in early December, the Monroe County had its own incident - the Sheriff's Office announced that three deputies were suspended without pay after a fight broke out between two inmates at the Monroe County Jail. "What you see in Marcy and what you see in our incident, you got a boss, a command boss, walking the floors of our jails and gets information from an inmate and reacts to that information and goes and validates that information and gave me enough cause to suspend three deputies and launch both an internal and criminal investigation," Baxter explained. "That's how it's supposed to happen, right? Again, if we have wrongdoing, I'll deal with it, but it's local, it's not going to ferment through an organization or the walls of a jail like it will somewhere else. That'll never happen on my watch." In the aftermath of what happened at Marcy, Governor Kathy Hochul visited the prison where she announced a list of corrective actions, including the expedition of $400 million to install fixed cameras and distribute body-worn cameras at all DOCCS facilities. "We're different. We are jail. We're a county jail. I'm responsible for the local people, not this big state bureaucracy," said Baxter. To be clear, the Monroe County Jail is not a DOCCS facility. Baxter said some in the Monroe County Jail do wear body-worn cameras and he's working on getting more soon. He said, at this point, only negative interactions are recorded. News 8 reached out to the State Correction Commission about the Monroe County Jail case. A spokeswoman for the commission issued the following statement: "The New York State Commission of Correction takes allegations of official misconduct extremely seriously, is aware of the allegations and will investigate. The Commission does not comment on pending investigations."
