“On February 23, a rehabilitation coordinator and PEF member was simply doing her job when she was attacked by one of the incarcerated individuals she was assisting. This video, released by DOCCS, shows the graphic, harrowing assault of one of our hard-working civilian DOCCS teachers at Lakeview Correctional Facility. PEF’s message is clear: it is time for these incidents to stop. It is time for legislators to take notice, and it is time for our hard-working public servants to come home safe and unharmed.” – Wayne Spence<\/p>\n
