COLLINS, N.Y. — A correctional officer at the Collins Medium Security Correctional Facility remains in the hospital after he and five others were allegedly injured during a violent run-in with an inmate.
Union officials say it all started when an officer asked to see ID. That's when the inmate refused and allegedly punched the correction officer in the face.
