CARSON CITY, NV - A guard has been flown to Renown in Reno after being attacked at Warm Springs Correctional Facility in Carson City
late Tuesday afternoon.

A spokesman with the prison system confirms one guard was hurt, and everybody else is okay. The guard's injuries are not believed to be life-threatening.

An investigation is underway, and the spokesman says whatever threat there was is over. He's not saying exactly how the attack happened, or what the weapon was, but all the inmates are back in their cells.

So far, no one has been arrested.

I agree with all of u.. sad these situations happen but some guards do not treat the imates very humane. its sad all the way around . because of budget cuts they are short staffed.. not only are there guards that really don't care.. but inmates are kept locked in cell due to lack of staff.They have cut back on programs to rehabilitate themselves.. sad situation, many of them could be out on parole or house arrest. some shouldn't even be there. then again there are many great guards. I've seen a lot of it first hand. s

Um. They do get Psych Evals & background checks. Maybe you shouldn't spout off misinformation on a subject you know nothing about :).
