PORTAGE, Wis. — An inmate at the Columbia Correctional Institution attacked a corrections officer, WISC-TV reported.
The inmate, 38-year-old Larry D. Harris, attacked the officer without warning or provocation.
The officer was taken to a hospital and released after treatment for non-life threatening injuries.
Other inmates were present during the attack but did not get involved. The attack was stopped when other COs restrained Harris.
Last year, the facility went into lockdown for a month after an inmate attacked an officer.
Harris was charged with battery.
