Appellees submitted declarations in the district court
describing the reasons they feared retaliation for filing
grievances arising out of the cell extractions. All appellees
emphasized the extreme brutality with which they were
beaten and tased. See Kaba v. Stepp, 458 F.3d 678, 685 (7th
Cir. 2006) (holding that where a prisoner had been denied
grievance forms, threatened with retaliation by multiple
prison officials, including a captain and the warden, and
eventually attacked in his cell, “[t]he attack itself may have
transformed the remedies from available to unavailable, for
an ordinary prisoner in Kaba’s shoes.”). Each of them then
gave reasons why they individually feared retaliation if they
filed grievances.
