Damn. We've had a lot of assaults on staff recently, including some very serious injuries, but fortunately it has been quite some time since an inmate-related line-of-duty death. My prayers are with his family.
Crap! I hate to have to revise this.
Officer K. White of Downstate Correctional Facility was found dead in an empty housing unit. (This is a reception facility, and housing units are emptied and refilled all the time) Haven't heard any more details at this point. May not be an inmate-related incident.
