Utah leaders are looking for quick answers on how to stop staff assaults at the state's new prison
In one instance, according to the representative, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 14 Executive Director Chad Bennion, an officer was fighting with an inmate for 50 seconds before help arrived. In another instance, it was two minutes before a door was opened so an assaulted officer could exit and others could arrive in the unit.He noted Gov. Spencer Cox was the lieutenant governor under Gov. Gary Herbert and has known of Utah’s correctional worker shortage for years.
Even if those recruits walked through the door tomorrow, it would be months before they could be trained. So, discussion Tuesday turned to what can be done quickly. Senate President J. Stuart Adams on Monday said the legislative auditor is investigating assaults and other problems at the new prison.
