A prison that has been in the news for violence faces a new lawsuit.

It comes from a man who was an inmate at the Trousdale Turner Correctional Facility, which is run by CoreCivic

The man claims his cellmate repeatedly threatened to rape him and the prison staff did not do anything when he reported it.

The man says he was eventually raped.

We asked CoreCivic for comments. They told us the man only made one report of sexual abuse and it was unsubstantiated.

The company released a statement this evening. At this time, we are not releasing the name of the plaintiff because he claims to be the victim of a sexual assault
