Prisons remain on partial lockdown following attacks on Minnesota corrections officers

Two Minnesota prisons remained on partial lockdown Wednesday following a surge of attacks by inmates on corrections officers last week, as officials try to get a handle on what happened and how future assaults could be prevented.

Seven officers were injured in total among three incidents, two attacks at Stillwater and one at the Oak Park Heights site, according to the Minnesota Department of Corrections.

Corrections Commissioner Paul Schnell said that while it's difficult to prevent random attacks like two of those that happened last week, it's important to find out what led the inmates to commit them.
