LIMESTONE COUNTY, Ala. (WHNT) — An inmate at the Limestone Correctional Facility was assaulted on Monday, according to the Alabama Department of Corrections.

A spokesperson with ADOC confirmed that Terry Wayne Curry II, 38, was the victim of an inmate assault earlier this week.

Officials said Curry was evaluated and treated at the facility’s Health Care Unit, but staff later determined he required a higher level of care, which resulted in him being taken to a local hospital.
