Inmate sentenced for knife assault
The aftertaste of inmate violence at the Allenwood federal prison complex on one September day three years ago continues to work its way through U.S. Middle District Court.
Inmate Clifton Hamalowa, 30, was sentenced Thursday to five years and three months additional prison time for aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon in connection with what originally was described as the attempted murder of another inmate.
Hamalowa is from Arizona and is a Native American, as are four other inmates who are charged in attacks that occurred at the correction facility on Sept. 28, 2005.
Two inmates, Shawn Coolya and Ritz Williams, face first-degree murder charges for a separate attack that occurred the same day as when Hamalowa and two inmate accomplices attacked an inmate in his cell, stabbing him in the back, neck and abdomen with sharp metal objects. The victim did not die.
