Inmate Stabs Guard Several Times At Michigan Prison
BLACKMAN TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) - The state says an inmate used a prison-made weapon to stab a guard multiple times at a prison near Jackson.
The Michigan Corrections Department said Thursday that the guard was in a hospital but was expected to be released soon.
Department spokesman Russ Marlan says the attack happened at 3:45 p.m. Wednesday at the G. Robert Cotton Correctional Facility. It's in Jackson County's Blackman Township, north of Jackson.
Marlan says the inmate used "an ice pick prison-made weapon" to attack a resident unit manager at the prison.
He says authorities moved the inmate to a higher security prison.
The prisoner wasn't immediately identified.
