A corrections officer was knocked unconscious and had his jaw fractured by an inmate at Auburn Correctional Facility earlier this month, the corrections officer union said Saturday.
Around 9:32 a.m. June 9, two officers escorted a 28-year-old inmate from his cell to an office at the prison, according to a news release from the New York State Corrections Officers & Police Benevolent Association.
The inmate refused orders from the two officers and a supervisor who later came onto the scene, NYSCOPBA said.
