DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF News) – The death of a Corrections Officer at a Central Texas Women’s Prison, has triggered an investigation.
Officials at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice are investigating the death of Corrections Officer Shana Tedder. Tedder complained of shortness of breath after a “use of force” incident with a prisoner at the Crain Unit in Gatesville.
41-year old Tedder walked to an area of the prison to rest, and collapsed. Paramedics were unable to revive her. She was pronounced dead at the prison on Friday.
The agency defines “use of force” as measures taken during a confrontational situation to get an offender to comply or steps by officers to maintain a safe environment for offenders and staff.
