Correctional officers continued to search the cells at MCI-Cedar Junction yesterday after a prisoner attacked a nurse and two officers on Monday. The search for weapons began immediately after inmate Albert Ford voluntarily gave up the homemade knife he used to stab correctional officer Joseph Andrede and take a nurse hostage, Department of Correction spokeswoman Abbe Nelligan said. Another officer was able to persuade Ford to surrender the weapon about 15 minutes later and Ford let the nurse go unharmed. Andrede was released from a nearby hospital yesterday. Nelligan said the second officer suffered only a cut. Ford is being held in the Departmental Disciplinary Unit, which holds the most violent inmates in the state. |
