Prison inmate sentenced for attack on correctional officer
An inmate at California State Prison, Sacramento, in Folsom has been sentenced to 50 years to life in prison for a 2008 attack on a correctional officer.
A Sacramento County jury convicted Steven Jones, 35, of battery on a correctional officer by an inmate and possession of an inmate-manufactured weapon. The court also found true Jones' two prior convictions for assault with a deadly weapon and assault with a semiautomatic firearm. He was sentenced by Sacramento Superior Court Judge Michael Savage.
On Sept. 20, 2008, a correctional officer was providing backup as Jones was about to be handcuffed, when Jones suddenly spun around and punched the officer in the face, knocking him out, according to a Sacramento County District Attorney's Office news release. The officer fell backward, striking his head on the concrete.
Jones then jumped on top of the unconscious officer and continued to punch him in the face until other officers were able to restrain Jones, authorities said. During a subsequent search of Jones, officers found a 5-inch-long metal "shank" sharpened to a point.
The officer who was beaten has since recovered and returned to work.
