An inmate punched a correctional lieutenant at an Illinois prison, sparking an assault that involved six prison employees and five inmates, the prison workers union said Monday. The American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees said four correctional officers and two lieutenants were treated for scratches, bruises and possible concussions suffered in the incident Sunday at the Pontiac Correctional Center. They have all been released from the hospital. "An inmate just began punching the lieutenant and knocked her to the ground," said Joe Lewis, a correctional officer at the Pontiac facility in central Illinois and president of AFCSME Local 494. "Then other inmates joined in the assault, injuring the other employees who had come to her assistance." Read More. |
