Court documents state that in December 2018, the men conspired to assault and kill inmates who were smaller and weaker than they were, because they were more vulnerable.
In addition to killing Maire, the men allegedly punched, kicked, stabbed and beat three other inmates.
The men are charged with first-degree premeditated murder, conspiracy to commit first-degree premeditated murder and assault with intent to commit murder.
Wright is also charged with assaulting a corrections officer and impeding a corrections officer. He allegedly tried to stop prison workers from stopping the assaults of inmates.
