"We applaud Judge Lunsford for sending a clear message to state prison inmates that corrections officers will be protected by the law," McNany said. "Our officers show courage every day in working among our state's most violent criminals. It's good to know that Judge Lunsford has our back. We hope his colleagues in the state judicial system will follow his lead."
