A former federal prison employee was sentenced to more than three years in prison for sexually abusing two inmates, the United States attorney’s office announced.
Danny L. Spyker worked as a corrections officer and cook supervisor at the Federal Correctional Institute in Thomson, Ill. when he “knowingly engaged in sexual acts” with two inmates in March 2024, the attorney’s office said.
A jury in U.S. District Court in Rockford earlier this year convicted Spyker of two counts of knowingly engaging in sexual acts with inmates, and on Monday, U.S. District Judge Sunil R. Harjani sentenced Spyker to three years and five months in federal prison, officials said.
“[Spyker’s] criminal conduct was not the result of a one-time mistake or a momentary lapse of judgment,” Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan S. Kim argued in the government’s sentencing memo. “He used his knowledge and position as a corrections officer/cook supervisor for his own sexual gratification. When a correctional officer abuses his power and harms an inmate, it is not only a violation of federal law—it is a betrayal of the trust that the community places in our penal institutions.”
