After Attack Former Guard Still Suffering

(Bonne Terre, MO) A former female prison guard at the Eastern Reception Diagnostic, Correctional Center at Bonne Terre, Erin Bray, is speaking out saying the state of Missouri abandoned her after she was stabbed and beaten by a violent offender while moving him from his cell into protective custody. Bray is still recovering from the brutal attack of August 2020 that saw her stabbed and her head stomped. Bray's Attorney, August Maytas, tells KFMO B104 News they're looking for Bray's next legal steps after she lost her worker's compensation benefits. State doctors are said to have told Bray she was able to return to work when medical professionals she retained said she was not physically ready to go back to the job. According to Maytas Bray could bring a civil suit that would attempt to obtain worker's compensation or other benefits. KFMO B104 News has contacted the Missouri Department of Corrections for a statement on the matter and we are still awaiting a response. Stay tuned to KFMO B104 News as more details become available.
