Officials allege inmate James Johnson – a convicted killer – attacked the counselor as the employee was entering a housing unit at Mule Creek State Prison around 8:30 a.m., the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation says.
Chemical agents were deployed by prison staff to stop the attack. The counselor was taken to a hospital outside the prison after the attack, officials say, and is in good condition.
Mule Creek prison is also now on modified program for the next day as officials complete a threat assessment.
Johnson has been housed at Mule Creek prison since 2003. He is serving a life without the possibility of parole sentence for a 1997 first-degree murder case.
