MS-13 gangbanger illegal aliens accused of stabbing 3 corrections officers in violent Virginia prison attack
2025-05-03
[FoxNews] 6 inmates were involved in the heinous act on Friday

Three Virginia corrections officers were hospitalized Friday after an alleged coordinated attack by inmates affiliated with the violent MS-13 gang and another known gang, state Department of Corrections officials said in a statement.

The incident took place at approximately 9:45 a.m. at Wallens Ridge State Prison in Wise County. Officials said six inmates were involved in the assault.

Five of them are confirmed members of the MS-13 gang, originally from El Salvador, who were in the U.S. illegally.

All five had been convicted of violent crimes, including aggravated murder, first-degree murder, second-degree murder, and rape. The sixth inmate is a U.S. citizen and a confirmed member of the Sureño 13 gang, serving a sentence for second-degree murder.

"Five of the individuals responsible for this senseless attack should never have been in this country in the first place," said Virginia Department of Corrections Director Chad Dotson.

"Every single day, our officers put their lives on the line to ensure public safety for the more than 8.8 million people across the Commonwealth. This attack is an example of the dangers they face when they show up to work every day. Our officers are heroes, and I commend the team at Wallens Ridge for their swift response."

Five officers required medical treatment. Three have been discharged, including two who sustained minor injuries while responding to the scene. Two others remain hospitalized in stable condition.

So, not 'senseless'.

#9  An orchestrated campaign of intimidation, mirroring a well developed tactic in Mexican and other Latin Amrican nations. Over time, and numerous instances, it takes hold. Think about it as the correctional system equivalent to the "Derek Chauvin" effect on LE use of force trends.

#8  It used to be, if you tried to escape you were killed. If you fought in the yard, they shot you. And if you attacked the guards, they didn't care how many prisoners died as long as the perps did. Honestly we should put the prisons on the honor system. You follow the rules and do what your told, anything else leads to a gibbet in the yard and crows cages around the prison.
