Two correctional officers were stabbed by inmates at Hays State Prison early Sunday morning, Jan. 27, but were already back at work Sunday afternoon, state officials said.

Georgia Department of Corrections said two officers were stabbed at the close security facility in Trion.

While their exact injuries were not given, Hogan said both officers received minor injuries and were treated at a local area hospital.

They were then released and returned home earlier Sunday and were back at work. The incident is under investigation.

This comes on the heels of the death of three inmates at the Chattooga County facility during the last month and a half.

Damien McClain was killed in a fight in a prison cell on Dec. 26, and Derrick Stubbs was found dead while in protective custody on Dec. 22.

Nathaniel Reynolds, 30, died at an area hospital on Jan. 18 following an altercation with fellow inmates.

Ricardo Beltran-Gonzales, 36, and Leonardo Ramos Rodrigues, 39, were charged in connection with Reynolds’ death last week.
