A recent attack on a nurse at Marquette Branch Prison suggests officials are classifying dangerous criminals as low-risk to save money, a union leader said.
State police are investigating reports that a 57-year-old rapist assaulted the female nurse on Saturday during an examination for abdominal pain.
The prisoner choked the nurse and threatened her with a razor blade he had concealed in his mouth.
The woman fought back and knocked a phone off the hook, setting off an alarm. Corrections officers subdued the inmate.
The man was assigned to the prison's minimum-security Trusty Division, despite six criminal sexual conduct convictions.
