Warning: this is not for the faint of stomach. Two Southern Ohio Correctional Facility inmates are in hot water for throwing disgusting body fluids at staff and fellow prisoners—yes, the stuff nightmares are made of.
Deangelo Mathis, already locked up for robbery and a previous gross-out harassment incident, now faces:
- 2 counts of harassment with a bodily substance
- 1 count of attempted harassment
Meanwhile, Edward Thorn III, 24, has been hit with assault and bodily fluid harassment charges on top of a laundry list of convictions: burglary, theft, weapons under disability, and prior assault and harassment—he’s already added three years to a three-year sentence.
So… what does “harassment with a bodily substance” actually mean? Brace yourself:
💩 Yes, literal poop: Feces can be thrown or smeared.
🤮 Urine and saliva attacks: Intentionally spat or flung at victims.
🦠 Major health risk: Officers face exposure to infections, viruses, and bacteria.
😱 Psychological terror: Humiliating and traumatizing—no wonder corrections staff dread this.
Escalation nightmare: One gross attack can ignite fights, chaos, and retaliatory violence.
Prison officials are clear: this isn’t some prank pulled in the showers. “Harassment with bodily substances is a serious threat to the safety and health of our staff and inmates. Disgusting. Dangerous. Criminal.”
For Mathis and Thorn, this could mean even more years added to sentences, but for corrections officers, it’s a grim reminder that their jobs can get filthy, fast, and downright hazardous.
