A former Oklahoma jail supervisor was sentenced to federal prison after prosecutors said he allowed Black inmates to be attacked by white supremacist inmates, according to court records.

Matthew Ware, 53, was sentenced to 46 months in federal prison followed by three years of supervised release after being convicted of “violating the civil rights of three pretrial detainees” held at the Kay County Detention Center, the U.S. Attorney’s Office of the Western District of Oklahoma said in a Monday, Dec. 5, news release.

Ware was convicted by a federal jury in April 2022 in connection with two incidents at the Kay County Detention Center, McClatchy News previously reported.

He ordered correctional officers to unlock both cells at the same time the next morning.............
