Officials Say Inmate Stabbed Lincoln Prison Staff Member
Lincoln – An inmate at the Lincoln Correctional Center stabbed a prison staffer with a sharpened toothbrush, causing serious injuries, Nebraska prison officials reported last Friday.
The Nebraska Department of Correctional Services said in a news release that the attack happened the previous evening just after the inmate was escorted from his cell so an inspection could be made of a maintenance issue inside the cell. The inmate, who was in restraints, was still able to use the homemade weapon to stab the staffer twice in the back of the staff member’s hand, the release said.
The staffer went to a hospital. Medical adhesive was used to close puncture wounds to her hand.
