"Assault and Threats Trigger Lockdown at South Dakota State Penitentiary"

A food service worker was assaulted by an inmate at the South Dakota State Penitentiary's Jameson Annex, leading to a lockdown. The incident occurred in the kitchen's meat cooler, and the worker was subsequently hospitalized. An investigation is underway with the Department of Criminal Investigation involved, and there are concerns about staff safety protocols at the facility. Visits to the penitentiary were canceled, and the administration's commitment to staff safety is being questioned.
