State officials said three inmates may have jimmied the locks on their cells, leading to the stabbing death of a corrections officer late Tuesday night at the Maryland House of Correction in Jessup.
The incident was the fourth in a string of violent attacks at the nearly 130-year-old jail in recent months and it occurred while it was already under lockdown following the stabbing death of an inmate last week, said Maj. Priscilla Doggett.
