The officer, whose name has not been released, was escorting an inmate at Red Onion State Prison in Pound, Va., when the inmate attacked him, said Larry Traylor. The incident happened around 3 p.m. Tuesday and the inmate, whose name was also not released, was locked up and questioned and the prison was locked down, Traylor said.
