The Alabama Department of Corrections is investigating a Saturday altercation at a Bessemer prison where two corrections officers were stabbed and two inmates were injured, the agency said Monday.
The two corrections officers at Donaldson Correctional Facility in Bessemer who were stabbed are on leave as the department reviews the incident. The agency also requested help from the FBI’s Birmingham Field Office in probing the clash between the officers and two inmates.
Robert Council and Ephan Moore, the two inmates involved in the altercation, were injured and treated and released from a local hospital. The department said the inmates “will be housed in a manner consistent with their security needs and recommended medical care.”
