Injuries not life-threatening

By Matthew Bruun TELEGRAM & GAZETTE STAFF

SHIRLEY— A correction officer was injured yesterday afternoon in an attack by an inmate at the maximum-security Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center, an official said, and two other correction officers were injured when they came to the first officer’s aid.

Diane Wiffin, spokeswoman for the state Department of Correction, said the officer was making security rounds about 12:35 p.m. when an inmate attacked him with a razor blade, pen and toothbrush that had been fashioned into weapons.

“These are items they are allowed to have,” she said.

The items, however, had been altered for the assault.

The correction officer defended himself, Ms. Wiffin continued, and two other officers came to his aid.

The inmate was restrained within five minutes, she said.

The officer was taken to an outside hospital, where he was being treated for his injuries last night.

Ms. Wiffin said the injuries were not life-threatening.

The other two officers were also treated for non-life-threatening injuries, Ms. Wiffin said.

A disciplinary report will be made against the inmate, and criminal charges will also be sought through the district attorney’s office, Ms. Wiffin said.

Hopefully the officer has a swift and full recovery!!!

You know, that tells me that the MADOC administration might need to be a little more discriminating with what the inmates are permitted to have.
Or is it better to have CO's hurt, maimed or killed in order for Joe Shitbag to have his personal effects of choice.

She sounds like a typical bureaucrat gasbag...
