"If" this story is TRUE, the big picture is that the prison violated the
civil rights of this guy under federal law by first the illegal search,
second detaining him in a locked room and the list goes on. Prison employees
do not have the right to go beyond the prison grounds and search anyone's
property under any conditions. He should have went to the federal attorney
and filed charges, by-passing all the state courts and presumed corrupt
judge and etc......

A violation of your civil rights supersedes and fcc violation.

That really depends on the Law of the STATE, under which the Prison is
operating. In some States, Prison Correction Officers are Commissioned
State Law Enforcement Officers, and have all the Police Powers that
other Officers in that State have. This is especially true when they
are out after an escaped prisoner, in some States. Also, in some States,
under State LAW, when you are a Commissioned Law Enforcement Officer,
and under Investigation for Official Misconduct, you are subject to
different rules than Regular Citizens, similar to Military Personnel
being only under the Code of Military Justice, rather than local Law,
should the Military decide to exercise that Authority. This is all
a question of What State LAW, IS in the State in Question.
