LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — State prison officials say three prison staff members have been assaulted by inmates since Monday.
The Lincoln Journal Star reports that an employee at the Nebraska State Penitentiary was assaulted Monday and two employees at the Lincoln Correctional Center were assaulted Tuesday.
