Guards Attacked At Holman Prison, Facility Placed On Lockdown
June 20, 2013
Two guards were attacked by prisoners at Holman Prison in Atmore Tuesday night, the Alabama Department of Corrections said Wednesday.
The first attack occurred during a routine shower call, with an inmate and officer involved in an altercation. As more officers responded, a second altercation occurred between a different prisoner and guard. Both altercations were brought under control quickly, and the facility was placed under lockdown.
Both guards and one prisoner were transported to an area hospital for treatment.
Further details, including the names of those involved and their conditions, have not been released pending a continuing investigation.

Al. Doc operates at over 190 percent, very over crowed, Montgomery needs to get off their collective butts, learn to work together and get something done, maybe the Feds need to come in like one time before in the early 80’s.
I have a friend who works there as part of the “WE CARE” program. He tells me it is a rough prison. Prayers to the two CO’s who were attacked!
Praying for the officers and their families.
Praying for the safety of all officers & a quick recovery of those involved. Thanks for your service.
Praying for the Correctional Officer’s involved and their families. That is a hard job to do, and is very dangerous. (Speaking as an officer and the spouse of an officer)
