Two inmates at a maximum-security South Carolina prison are being lauded for helping a guard who was attacked by another inmate. The state’s Department of Corrections is now detailing the Monday evening attack, which WCIV notes could’ve been a deadly one had the rescuing inmates not intervened. “The officer was punched in the face, pushed down a flight of stairs and stomped on the head” by the attacker, the SCDC Twitter account noted the day after the incident at Lee Correctional Institution. At that point, the two prisoners stepped in: One of them “grabbed the assailant,” while the other “pulled the officer to safety & called for help.”
The agency notes that the attacker was taken to another prison and now has new charges pending. It’s not clear what that inmate is in prison for, nor was a motive given for the attack, but the State notes the prison is a Level 3 facility “designed primarily to house violent offenders with longer sentences, and inmates who exhibit behavioral problems,” per the SCDC’s site.
It should be obvious to all why the 2 inmates cannot be rewarded for their heroism.
“The officer was punched in the face, pushed down a flight of stairs and stomped on the head” – and *then* they intervened. 🙄
I’d like to know the ethnicity of all involved.
@Tony
They were conservative white males. Everyone knows they are the most violent ones out there.
Neuter,if that doesn’t work, to the deeeeep pit……
Need to clear out all the prisons and make way
for many more inmates to come.
