Inmate assault refers to physical attacks that occur between individuals incarcerated in a correctional facility. These incidents can involve one inmate attacking another, often resulting from conflicts over territory, gang affiliations, or personal disputes. Such assaults can lead to serious injuries and may require medical attention. Correctional facilities implement various measures to prevent inmate assaults, including surveillance, staff training, and conflict resolution programs. However, the high-stress environment and close quarters can contribute to tensions among inmates, making assaults a persistent issue in the prison system. Addressing these challenges is crucial for maintaining safety within correctional facilities.
