Every month in the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation there are hundreds of staff members attacked by inmates. CDCR refuses transparency regarding these attacks and mostly remains silent regarding the constant threat staff face in the institutions. The department does release total numbers which The Toughest Beat gathered and plotted. The most current data released by CDCR (March 2024) shows a rising trend of inmate-on-staff attacks within the prison walls.
Stay safe out there.
