The 18-year-old inmate attempted to hang himself in 2019 using two sweatshirts tied together and then his neck, officials said.
Department of Correction captain Terry Henry and officers Daniel Fullerton, Kenneth Hood and Mark Wilson were arraigned in Bronx Criminal Court Monday on charges of reckless endangerment and official misconduct Monday in connection with the 2019 jail incident.
On the night of November 27, 2019, Nicholas Feliciano, then 18, stood on a privacy partition, crouched down and then stepped off the partition with the sweatshirts around his neck. His body shook and twisted for about two minutes until it went still, authorities said. Fullerton, 27, Hood, 35, and Wilson, 46, were on post at the time of the incident and Henry, 37, was supervising, prosecutors said.
