Five female inmates at the Marshall County Jail over the weekend rushed to the aid of a corrections officer who was being stabbed by another inmate, Sheriff Phil Sims said Monday.
The corrections officer, Melissa Woodall, opened a holding cell door to escort an inmate on a 15-foot walk to the restroom when the inmate, Emily Sledge, immediately attacked her.
“If not for the action of the other inmates,” Sims said at a press conference, “it is very likely Officer Woodall would have been killed.”
