Patient to go to prison

Here's more on violence at work. There's - sometimes inevitably- a lot of it in psychiatric wards...

Story:
State officials on Friday crafted a solution that paves the way for Todd Van Dorn to move from a psychiatric ward at the Oregon State Hospital to a prison cell in the Oregon Department of Corrections.

Friday's new developments came after state hospital workers expressed outrage this week about Van Dorn's case. On Tuesday, Van Dorn was sentenced to almost six years in prison for beating hospital staff member Valerie Aerni in December 2004.
