Liancourt (60): a prison guard violently attacked by an inmate placed in solitary confinement. 4,900 officers are attacked each year in France according to a union.

An inmate in solitary confinement violently attacked an officer on Tuesday, July 8, at the Liancourt prison (Oise). Unions expressed their support for their colleague. Prison management, for its part, requested the prisoner's transfer.

It was 8:40 a.m. when the inmate called out to the head of the Liancourt prison (Oise). "Come and see, guard," he shouted repeatedly. Faced with the demands, the officer approached and opened the cell door. It was at this moment that the prisoner lunged at him.

During the action, the guard tried to close the door but received a "violent kick" preventing it from closing, according to the FO Justice union. With the way clear, the man placed in solitary confinement delivered an "extremely brutal punch to the face," knocking him out instantly. […]
