Video of inmates at Lewis Prison attacking correctional officers

555 Officer David Nash doesn't remember much from the night he was violently attacked inside Arizona's Lewis Prison. "I remember another corrections officer pulling me out of the pod," he said. "I remember talking to someone in the ambulance and being gurneyed into the hospital." It was December 30, 2018. In the prison's Morey unit, a two-floor section of cells that houses 50 high-risk offenders, Nash was on the ground floor telling two inmates to get back in their cells when they began to attack him. Another officer saw the attack and rushed over to the help. But over the next 20 seconds, as the two officers struggle to flee from the inmates repeatedly punching and kicking them, another 15 inmates freely open their cell doors and rush to get into the fight. The ambush-style attack was captured by a surveillance camera. The video reveals a disturbing, everyday truth about multiple units inside Lewis: Cell doors don't lock. And the doors haven't locked for years.
