A Wabash Valley Correctional officer was injured by an Indiana inmate Sunday as he was breaking up a fight between two inmates, said public information officer Rich Larsen.

About 9 a.m., a fight began inside a housing unit on the south side of the facility when two inmates began arguing over a chess match, Larsen said. Correctional Officer Paul Bean tried to separate the two when inmate Paul Person, 31, allegedly assaulted him, Larsen said.

Bean was taken to Sullivan County Hospital with a broken jaw and a laceration to his forehead, Larsen said. He later was taken by ambulance to Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, he said.

Person and the other inmate, James Cummings, 31, were placed in segregation pending an inside conduct violation charge, Larsen said. Internal affairs may pursue outside criminal charges, he said.

About one-third of our lives are spent at work. With that time invested, it’s reasonable to assume that an employer would want to keep you safe. With a workplace injury attorney you can get the legal advice that you need to get on with your life. If your employer does not have workers' compensation insurance and your employer is at fault for your accident, then you can sue your employer directly with the help of a workplace injury attorney.
