Inmates stab correctional officers at a Massachusetts prison

LANCASTER, Mass. (AP) — A spokesperson says two correctional officers were stabbed by inmates and three others were injured at a Massachusetts maximum security prison. The five officers at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster were taken to hospitals after the confrontation Wednesday night. Four have since been released and one is being treated for non-life-threatening injuries. A spokesperson for the Massachusetts Department of Correction says in a statement Thursday that the facility is secure while an investigation is being conducted and the inmates involved have been moved to other facilities. The Massachusetts Correction Officers Federated Union and some legislators are calling for more action from the department.
