CLARINDA – A correctional officer was assaulted at approximately 3:05 pm Monday at the Clarinda Correctional Facility.
The officer was escorting two inmates to their units when one of the inmates unexpectedly attacked the officer. The inmate was able to land several closed-fist strikes to the officer’s face and head before the officer was able to restrain him long enough to call for assistance. Additional officers quickly responded to the incident and were able to place the attacking inmate in restraints.
The officer that was assaulted was evaluated by facility medical staff, and taken via State vehicle to the Clarinda Regional Health Center for further evaluation. It is believed he suffered bruising and soreness. The inmate involved in the assault suffered no major injuries.
This incident remains under investigation.
No one cares. It is the cost of doing business. One shot to the head will stop this crap.
Yeah, no questions asked. Obviously the jailer is above the law and shouldn’t have to take any shit! He should have just shit the inmate for even daring to defy him! Are you a retarded person? You don’t know the story, you assume the co wasn’t doing anything wrong or intentionally agitating the inmate. It isn’t unheard of that jail and prison guards are not good people. Just because some one is incarcerated does not instantly make them guilty of everything anytime someone says boo. You’re like a stupid angry little person, you need help.
People like you are next!
