LANCASTER – A correctional officer was injured during an attack by an inmate at the California State Prison in Lancaster, authorities said.
It happened around 10 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 18, in a housing unit at the prison, located at 44750 60th Street West, according to a news release by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation.
“Two officers approached inmate George Hudson, 30, in the dayroom of his housing unit to inform him he had been found guilty of a Rules Violation Report (RVR) for possession of a cellphone and was being placed on restricted status. Hudson rapidly walked away from the officers and into his cell, where one officer attempted to place him in handcuffs,” the news release states.
“Hudson turned toward the officer and punched him in the nose. The second officer attempted to place Hudson in handcuffs but he resisted, striking the second officer in the upper chest with his elbow. Hudson broke away and ran toward a third responding officer, who used pepper spray to subdue the attack,” the news release states.
“Hudson was placed in handcuffs and escorted out of the facility. The first officer was transported to an outside hospital for treatment of a fractured nose. Hudson and the other two responding officers were uninjured beyond exposure to pepper spray,” the news release states.
Hudson was committed to the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation on Jan. 4, 2013, from Los Angeles County to serve 40 years to life with the possibility of parole for second-degree murder.
The state prison in Lancaster provides long-term housing for male inmates classified as minimum-, medium- and maximum-security. Opened in 1993, the prison houses approximately 3,400 inmates and employs more than 1,800 people.

Dirty CO’s taking bribes to smuggle contraband, is a longstanding, deeply rooted systemic problem. It’s not the skin color, it’s the corrupted mind-set. You pick one article to make your case!
F__k AV says
Quite ironic this assault started over a cellphone in prison, which we ALL know was smuggled in by another “correctional” officer. Are we supposed to feel sorry for the poor, assualted guard when his own coworkers are essntially responsible for this? Alot of these CO’s are dirtier than the inmates they supervise.
Shane Falco says
It’s a race thing. Officers of one race smuggle in cell phones for inmates of the same race often because they don’t fell like their…brothers…should be in prison.
Officers of other races will try to do their job but they face resistance not only from the inmates but the officers who don’t want their dirty deeds and partnerships with inmates coming to light.
There was a story in the AV times about that DENA Boy officer smuggling in drugs for his inmates. Staff and officers of the same race threw up all kinds of hurdles for the internal affairs and investigation officers.

Fool for Foolco says
Foolco, do everyone a favor and either run for Lancaster City Council or get appointed to one of Rex’s pathetic commissions, you racist prick.
Tim Scott says
Couldn’t have described Foolco any clearer than that myself. Well done.
Shane Falco says
It’s not racist when it’s true.
Tim Scott says
“It” isn’t racist, YOU are, and we’ve all had ample opportunity to notice. Hope someone closer to you notices and bumps you out of the chopper for a fitting “accidental” dive.
Question Lancaster Authority says
Foolco and his Lancaster copatirots are so blatantly racist that they think they are somehow inclusive. They like to point to Bishop Henry Hearns, who is nothing more than an Uncle Tom beholden to the Parris/Gilley/Visco Unholy Triune. Then they say what about Anglela Underwood? What about her? She makes $100K from some east coast energy company and is nothing more than a Rex sock puppet. Foolco would be an excellent planning commissioner. At least he doesn’t have a DUI on his record, nor is he the Vice Mayor’s son.
Lancaster is a cess pool.
Shane Falco says
Yeah….I don’t live in lancaster or the antelope valley. Lancaster and palmdale are the same cesspool with the same turds just in neighboring toilets.
William says
Falco says he doesn’t live in the AV, so why is he obsessed with commenting his lame thoughts on the AV TIMES site where he gets a slap down every time. It stands for ANTELOPE VALLEY. Doesn’t he know that?
Doesn’t Santa Clarita have a local website for him to play on, the poor thing? He thinks Santa Clarita is Bel Aire or something where they’d look down their noses at him if he could even afford to live there. He could be the Fresh Prick of Bel Aire.
Tim Scott says
And yet neither of them is disgraced by having you. Score a point against Cardiff Drive.
Tim Scott says
Speaking of neighbors, do yours know what a scummy racist persona you maintain on line? Doing Cardiff Drive proud, one ignorant comment at a time.
Elmo says
With every new post Foolco proves what a racist he is to his core. Much like the mayor of Lancaster who had the audacity to send out political mailers calling an African American armed services veteran a ‘gang candidate’ when he ran for office.
This kind of racism is really hard to eliminate because it comes from deep within a person.
HEMi says
There is politics in prison, when your serving as much time as these guys, your not aloud to go willingly. Its either that or by the comrads…..thats much easier…! My sympathy to the rookie….
