Dale Shavers

"You know, I should've figured it out sooner. Now I'm gonna give you a chance to come clean. Who is helping you? Hm? Who's helping you?"

Captain Dale Shavers was a corrupt prison guard who appeared in Lockdown.

Background
Shavers became the head of security at the Reagan Federal Penitentiary sometime prior to the events of Lockdown. However, he was corrupt and formed a gang of corrupt prison guards, which formed a fight club. The gang used inmates of the prison as their fighters for the fight club. One night, they had two inmates, Patrick Butler and Devon White, fight it out in a hallway of the solitary confinement division. During the fight, Shavers gave Butler his baton, which he used to beat Devon, unintentionally to death. Tom Polinsky, a prison guard who wasn't involved with the fight club, stumbled upon the scene and was forced to help several other guards dispose of Devon's body. Shavers then threatened to kill Polinsky's daughter if he talked.

Modus Operandi
Shavers and his gang targeted quiet prison inmates who weren't affiliated with any prison gangs, using them as their fighters in their fight club. They would have the inmates fight it out in secluded locations of the prison and placed bets on the winners. These bets would be transferred electronically through the members' bank accounts.

When he killed Patrick Butler, his sole murder victim, Shavers bludgeoned him to death with his own baton. Previously, he had Butler club Devon White to death with the same baton, although the death was unintentional. Shavers later tried to kill Tom Polinsky by hiring several inmates to stage a prison riot and kill Polinsky in the process.
