💨 Abstract

A prison officer at HMP Long Lartin was stabbed by an inmate using a flick-knife believed to have been smuggled in via a drone. The officer survived with a liver injury and was airlifted to the hospital. The incident highlights the ongoing concerns about prison security and inmate violence. sources say prisons are becoming increasingly unsafe for guards. Other recent attacks on prison staff in the UK have led to calls for better protections such as tasers and body armor.
