Georgia inmates save deputys life, receive praise on social media
ATLANTA Its not often that a sheriffs office shares a Facebook post praising inmates but thats exactly what happened Tuesday in Georgia. The Gwinnett County Sheriffs Office shared a story about a deputy who suffered a medical emergency while supervising a jail housing unit and was saved by three inmates. Neither the deputy nor the inmates names were released in the post. The inmates who witnessed the deputy fall started banging on their cell doors which caused a domino effect as all the inmates in the unit started to do the same and shout for the deputy. As of this publication, the Facebook post has nearly 150,000 shares, and thousands of comments praising the inmates for their actions.
