Two Officers Transported to Local Hospital for Injuries
Fallsburgh, NY – Seven officers were injured at Sullivan Correctional Facility last week in two separate inmate attacks that led to two of the officers needing to be transported to a local hospital for further treatment of their injuries.
On Tuesday, November 1, an officer observed an inmate taking strips of his sock and tying them around his neck to harm himself. The officer called for a staff response and two additional officers responded. The three officers, who were concerned for the inmates welfare, entered the cell. Once the officers entered the cell, the inmate became immediately combative. He struck one officer in the side of the face. FULL PRESS RELEASE
