 Two inmates were stabbed in the stomach and an officer was punched in the head hours after correction officers found three blades inside the Brooklyn House of Detention at 275 Atlantic Avenue, according to the Daily News.

The Brooklyn jail has been called "a hotspot for violence" since last year, the News says.

Built in 1957, the jail can house 815 adult males, most undergoing the intake process or awaiting trial in Kings County (Brooklyn) and Richmond County (Staten Island) courts. (According to www.cobanyc.org)
