An Aboriginal inmate has been left braindead after an altercation with guards at a South Australian prison, his family says. Twenty-nine-year-old Wayne Morrison allegedly attacked five prison guards at Yatala Labour prison on Friday while he waiting for a scheduled video-link court appearance. Authorities allege Morrison was involved in an altercation with two officers, including a young woman, when he had to be restrained by three other guards. The correctional services department chief executive, David Brown, told the Sunday Mail in Adelaide the “critical incident” involved an alleged assault by an inmate on prison staff. “The prisoner involved in the incident was brought under control by responding staff,” Brown said.
