Katie Jackson, a dedicated correctional officer with nearly a decade of service at the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, endured a horrific attack inside her workplace—an attack that should never have happened. For four agonizing hours, she was held hostage, strangled, and repeatedly assaulted by a level-four inmate who should never have been housed in a lower-security facility.

This tragic failure highlights a systemic issue within California’s prison system—one where misguided policies and a lack of leadership have prioritized ineffective rehabilitation efforts over the safety of officers and the public. Katie is bravely stepping forward to expose these failures and demand accountability.

We stand with Katie in her fight for justice, safety, and meaningful change. In this press conference we break down how this happened, why the system failed her, and what must be done to prevent this from ever happening again.

Katie’s fight is not just for herself—it’s for every correctional officer who risks their life daily. No one should endure what she went through. Help us spread awareness by liking, sharing, and commenting on this video.
