ANGOLA — An attempted escape from the Louisiana State Penitentiary Tuesday morning was preceded by a stabbing, according to sources.

One inmate reportedly stabbed another, and then proceeded to manage to get to the roof of the Camp D prison facility. The inmate who was stabbed received non-life-threatening injuries.

The inmate was subdued after being shot with a non-lethal "bean bag" round. 

The last reported escape attempt from the maximum-security Angola facility was in 2017. In 2013, two inmates successfully escaped, but were re-captured some days later. 

The West Feliciana Parish Sheriff's Office confirmed the attempted escape, but did not comment on the stabbing.
