Arizona: Correction Officer Stabbed in the Chest! While escorting Inmate Leonard Bacon to the clinic, Inmate Bacon produced a shank and stabbed the escorting Correction Officer in the chest. Thank God his wounds were not life threatening. Inmate Bacon was caught with a shank 3 weeks prior to this incident and was supposed to be placed in Maximum security, but was not. This is the same prison system that has 1,000 cells that do not lock properly. There have been calls for the resignation of Arizona Prisons Director Charles Ryan. Director Ryan has not yet resigned. Even under these extreme circumstances the Arizona Correction Officers still continue to stick together. All for one and one for all. We salute you!
