ALLENWOOD â The leader of the union representing corrections officers at the United Stated Prison Allenwood said Thursday the attack on two officers earlier in the week was a âstark reminder of the unpredictable and violent nature of the vital workâ done by employees.
Shane Fausey, Council of Prison Locals national president, noted the efforts in seeking justice for Officer Dale Franquet and a partner would not cease.
âThe quick and decisive actions of both officers, even at the risk of their own personal safety, are nothing short of heroic and resulted in quickly bringing an end to a potentially deadly situation,â he said in a statement. âPlease continue to pray for both officers, their families, and their coworkers as they continue to recover from this senseless tragedy.â
