Three prison officers were injured Sunday after inmates took control of a dorm at Lancaster County’s Kershaw Correctional Institution, according to the S.C. Department of Corrections. The incident happened around 3 p.m, said agency spokesman Dexter Lee. All three officers were treated for non-life-threatening injuries, he said, adding one had been stabbed. The department called in its emergency team after the incident began, Lee said, to help officers reassert control over the dorm. That happened around 7:30 p.m., when all inmates were back in their cells. No inmate injuries were reported Sunday night. It was the second major incident at a South Carolina prison in just over a week. On April 7, four inmates were strangled at Columbia’s Kirkland Correctional Institution, one of the state’s most high-security prisons. Two other Kirkland inmates have been charged in those killings.
