CLALLAM BAY — The Clallam Bay Corrections Center entered its second day of lockdown Tuesday as a corrections officer attacked by an inmate the day before recovered at home following his discharge from Olympic Medical Center. Carlos Avalos, 19, remained isolated in the prison’s Intensive Management Unit after he reportedly stabbed a corrections officer, who has not been identified, with a “pointed object,” state Department of Corrections spokeswoman Norah West said Tuesday. Earlier information from the Department of Corrections described the object as a pen. “It would be inaccurate to say that it is a pen,” West said, though she declined to say exactly what it was. Avalos is serving a 10-year sentence after pleading guilty to attacking a teacher with a homemade knife and hitting a security officer at a corrections vocational school in Chehalis in June 2012 for one count each of second-degree assault with a deadly weapon, custodial assault and second-degree malicious mischief, according to Lewis County Superior Court records. The investigation into the Monday assault continued Tuesday, West said. “It’s under investigation, so I don’t have any more details to give you at this time,” she said. According to the Department of Corrections, Avalos stabbed the Clallam Bay corrections officer in the neck and face at about 10:15 a.m. Monday. The entire 850-inmate facility was placed on lockdown soon afterward. The officer was taken to OMC in Port Angeles with non-life-threatening injuries and is now recovering at home, West said.
