'Every time he is escorted to an area, the other inmates start threatening him.'
Colorado has paid $1.1 million to settle a lawsuit brought by a state prisoner who was stalked, assaulted and almost killed by gang members over a period of years while prison officials rejected his numerous pleas for protection.
In 2015, a new occupant moved into the cell next to Snorsky’s: Chad Merrill, a high-ranking member of the 211 Crew, the white supremacist gang. According to court records, Merrill is serving a life sentence for gang-related crimes outside of prison but has also been the subject of multiple criminal investigations within the prison system.
Despite mounting evidence that he’d been targeted, Snorsky’s frantic pleas to be placed in protective custody were denied for months. He rarely left his cell at CSP for recreation or anything else. Merrill wasn’t idle during Snorsky’s legal battles. He received his own transfer out of CSP to general population at Buena Vista, where he and two other 211 Crew members killedin 2018, crushing his skull in front of cameras and other inmates. Merrill has since pleaded guilty in both the Edmonds and Massaro murders.
