TOWSON, MD – Officer Dontae Malone, 21, received the American Correctional Association's Medal of Valor at the ACA winter conference in Tampa, Florida, for saving a colleague's life during an assault at the Maryland House of Correction last March.

Officer Malone had been working as a correctional officer at the Jessup maximum-security prison for only three months when he found inmates seriously injuring a CO and intervened to save the officer's life.

The Medal of Valor is the ACA's most distinguished honor for bravery awarded for acts of courage in life-and-death situations.
