    LANSING, Kan. — A corrections officer at Kansas’ Lansing Correctional Facility is hospitalized in stable condition after being attacked.

    The Kanas Department of Corrections says in a news release that the incident happened Wednesday when the officer “was injured by a resident.” Officials say the incident remains under investigation. The Kansas Organization of State Employees, the union representing the prison’s corrections officers, told KSNW-TV that a male inmate attacked the female officer around the time of the shift change at 5 p.m.

    The union’s president says the prison is understaffed and the union has long advocated for additional staffing.
