MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A staff member at Wisconsin’s youth prison is in critical condition following a fight with an inmate. State Department of Corrections spokesperson Beth Hardtke said the fight happened Monday evening at the Lincoln Hills-Copper Lake Schools, the state’s youth prison in Irma. Hardtke said a 16-year-old inmate attacked a staff member in a residence hall and then assaulted another staff member. The first staff member was taken to a hospital and released. The second staff member hit their head on concrete and was in critical condition at a hospital on Tuesday morning. Hardtke did not identify the staff members. The inmate did not suffer any injuries that required medical treatment.
