Correctional Officer Phillip Curry was stabbed to death on the third tier of D Cellhouse at the Indiana State Prison in Michigan City.

At about 5:00 pm, as prisoners were being returned to their cells after dinner, Correctional Officer Curry was stabbed in the neck and heart with a homemade, knife-like weapon. He died shortly after being transported to Memorial Hospital in Michigan City.

Correctional Officer Curry had served with the Indiana Department of Correction for 1½ years. He was survived by his three children, fiancée and mother.

I served with brother CO. Curry on quite a few occasions in D-Cell House-known as the "Dog Pound" during that time and I can say he was definately a fine officer to have served with. I also knew his brother-we were neighbors. I have since moved on from the prison and moved west. I have heard that the prison did make major changes to help protect staff. I still take issue with the fact that the inmate who attacked Curry wasn't given the death penalty, but I guess thats how things go. Anyway, Curry RIP and for the rest of the staff I pray that God watches over you always...Peace!
