Inmate hurt trying to break up fighting officers

An inmate at the Erie County Correctional Facility lost a tooth last week when he intervened in a fight between two corrections officers scrapping over a bag of chips, prison personnel told The Buffalo News.

The fight erupted April 21 in the Yankee Building, across the street from the jail's main campus in Alden. The building features open housing for prisoners considered to be lesser security risks. The inmate apparently had tried to break up the fight.

1. corrections officers are dogs?

3. I was referring to the old cliche - " "When a dog bites a man, that is not news, because it happens

so often. But if a man bites a dog, that is news."


When have you ever heard of an inmate breaking up a fight between guards?



Kind of a sad story - he liked both of the guards and was trying to keep them out of trouble.
