Francisco Izayas Castillo, a 42-year-old correctional officer from Morgan Hill, California, was sentenced to 45 days in jail for his involvement in a September 2022 attack on an inmate at the Santa Clara County jail. Castillo was found guilty of a misdemeanor for facilitating the assault by opening the victim's cell door after two inmates approached him with their plan. Prosecutors revealed that Castillo not only approved the attack but also watched it unfold from a distance. After the victim activated his emergency call button, signaling for help, Castillo silenced the notification and turned off the emergency light outside the victim's cell. Instead of assisting the victim, he conspired with the attackers to cover up the incident, failing to report it or seek medical aid. Following the investigation, Castillo was fired from his position, and the attackers, along with another inmate who acted as a lookout, were also charged and convicted. Santa Clara County District Attorney Jeff Rosen emphasized the betrayal of trust by Castillo, stating that corrupt correctional officers will be held accountable.
