(Anamosa, IA) — The Iowa Department of Corrections says a correctional officer was handing out medications to inmates when one of them assaulted her Saturday. The attacker put the officer in a chokehold, but she was able to free herself, then take control of him when other staff members responded. The officer was taken to a local hospital for a medical review, then released. She had suffered only bruising and the inmate wasn’t hurt. Just the day before the attack, Iowa lawmakers had toured the prison to determine what changes were needed. A nurse and a correctional officer were killed there during an escape attempt last month.
