Partial lockdown at Wash. corrections facility after officer assaulted

All but one of the fights involved inmates allegedly assaulting other inmates

CLALLAM BAY — One section of Clallam Bay Corrections Center remained on full lockdown Wednesday after a corrections officer allegedly was assaulted by an inmate three days before, a prison spokeswoman said.

The Sunday assault, from which the officer suffered minor injuries, was one of four separate fights at the prison over the weekend, said Fay Gingell, corrections center public information officer.

All but one of the fights involved inmates allegedly assaulting other inmates, Gingell said, and none of them resulted in serious injuries.
