Police say Vandusen was severely injured during a violent assault at the prison on Dec. 1, 2019. Vandusen died as a result of his injuries three days after the assault.
The court heard that Vandusen was severely beaten and laid unconscious on the floor for about 45 minutes, before being found by another inmate.
Victim impact statements were heard from various family members of Vandusen, including his teenage son.
Jason Foreman apologized to the family for the crime calling it a “terrible accident” that should have “never happened”.
