Prisoners Come to the Rescue of Collapsed Guard

After a prison guard in Parker County, Texas collapsed from a heart attack, a group of prisoners broke out of their holding cell to assist him. In so doing, the prisoners took an enormous risk that could have ended quite badly. It is believed that the compassionate actions of the prisoners most likely saved the guard’s life. Reflecting on the incident, one of the prisoners subsequently remarked: ‘It never crossed my mind not to help whether he’s got a gun or a badge. If he falls down, I’m gonna help him.’
