Various Prison Assaults Caught on Videotape

The first scene opens in July 6, 1994 at the Central Utah Corrections Facility in Gunnison, Utah. 2 White Supremacists corner a Black inmate in the shower area. While one White holds him down, the other stabs the Black repeatedly with a shank. The SWAT Team tries to move into the area as the stabber wipes the blood off his hands with a towel.

The attack goes on for several minutes before the cops can get onto the scene. The suspects are cuffed and the victim is carried away by paramedics.

The second scene is on March 17, 1997 in the Rahway, New Jersey Prison mess hall. One inmate holds a victim down while the other stabs him over and over with a shank. The attacker appears to be a Black man. The stabbed man was attacked for "dissing" the attacker and his family.

The assaulted man tries to crawl under a table to get away, but his attacker keeps on beating and stomping on him. The Plexiglas shank actually broke during the attack.

The third scene is again in the prison mess hall fight in Rahway. Two fights break out at once, both involving Blacks. The fights go on for several minutes. The attackers finally got tired of beating each other up and that is what ended the brawls.

In the fourth scene, on May 25, 1994 in Rahway, one man, apparently a White man, prepares to assault a White inmate on the exercise court. He turns his back on the man, then suddenly turns around and assaults him with a shank. Even though the victim is seriously wounded by the shank, he fights back hard with his fists and a fistfight ensues. Finally the attacker runs away towards the handball court.

Even though this man was stabbed in his chest near his heart, he still somehow managed to survive.
