FLORENCE, AZ - Officials say two correctional officers at a Florence prison were injured when they were assaulted by two inmates Friday afternoon.

The incident happened at the Florence Correctional Center as the officers were escorting two State of Hawaii inmates back to their cells from the segregation recreation yard.

Staff responded immediately and ended the assault quickly, according to officials.

The facility was placed on lockdown as a precaution and law enforcement and Hawaii Department of Public Safety authorities were notified.

The officers were taken to a local hospital for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.

The incident is being investigated and the names of the officers were not released.

The facility is owned and operated by Corrections Corporation of America and primarily houses federal inmates and detainees for the U.S. Marshals Service and Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

    The guards were brutally stabbed and thankfully they were quickly airlifted to Phoenix. Without the quick response time, things could have been much worse. These 2 inmates were already facing a possible death penalty and apparently have no regard for human life.
