The War on the Police Continues.

The chief of Brooklyn’s federal jail called on a judge to sentence ex-correction officer Carlos Martinez to life in prison for raping an inmate in 2015, saying the guard “stains the reputation” of the federal prison system.

“Carlos Martinez deserves the maximum penalty authorized by law,” Metropolitan Detention Center Warden Herman Quay said in the letter written in 2018 and made public on Thursday.

“I believe a term of imprisonment is necessary to punish Carlos Martinez for his misconduct and to provide an adequate deterrent to others, who, like Carlos Martinez, would compromise the security of MDC Brooklyn and the integrity of the BOP for their own selfish ends,” Quay’s letter says.

Martinez, 51, a former corrections lieutenant, was convicted in 2018 of repeatedly raping an incarcerated woman named Maria in the troubled Brooklyn jail in 2015 and 2016.

Quay’s letter focuses on how Martinez’s actions affected other staff in the jail.
