Prison Guard Injured in Visitation Attack

A guard at the Wisconsin Secure Program Facility in Boscobel is on medical leave after an inmate attack. Clint Blaha, currently serving a 15-year sentence for distributing meth, was charged last week with three counts related to the assault, including battery by a prisoner, substantial battery with a repeater, and a count of retraining the victim against his will. Blaha could face a maximum jail time of 22 additional years and up to $40,000 in fines if convicted. The attack occurred in the visitation room on August 8th and was recorded by security cameras. The video shows Blaha jumping on the guard, repeatedly hitting him on the head, beating him with a chair, and kicking him.  Since July of 2021, there have been four assaults in the Boscobel prison.
