Vacaville prison officials said Juan Corona, 40, who was convicted in 25 killings, was attacked by a fellow inmate after heated exchanges over the past weeks. Authorities reported 82 wounds from a woodcarving knife, with one eye lost and the other eyelid sewn shut, while noting no gang motive and ongoing investigation.
California prepares to curb rehabilitation programs as violence rises with weapons from prison shops. About 8,000 inmates across five major prisons are held, meals reduced, and recreation and classes halted while cell by cell searches continue. The attack on Juan Corona intensifies concerns, with guards and inmates killed in recent years. Department officials blame rival Latin American gangs, the Mexican Mafia and Nuestra Familia, for the “reign of terror” fueling the violence.
