Are State Prison Policies Unsafe For Corrections Officers and Inmates? We all know that State Prisons can be very dangerous places. But are prison policies in the State of Nevada placing corrections officers in vulnerable positions? Do they increase the risk of injury for both officers and inmates? Our guest says yes. He recalls an incident in the Las Vegas area of Nevada where he was injured during a violent cell extraction and forced medication routine with an inmate. This attack left him with lifelong disabilities, ending his career in corrections.
