Minnesota inmate's bloody past comes to light after allegedly killing corrections officer

A one-eyed inmate accused of killing a Minnesota corrections officer on this week has a history of violence — though his recent “good behavior” allowed him access to tools and an industrial building where the officer was killed, authorities said Thursday.

Edward Muhammad Johnson, 42, attacked and fatally injured Officer Joseph Gomm with a weapon, authorities said. While authorities didn’t name the type of weapon, reports say it was a hammer. A preliminary autopsy showed Gomm died of blunt force trauma.

Gomm was killed in the prison’s industry building, where eligible prisoners can participate in welding and carpentry programs, said Department of Corrections Commissioner Tom Roy. Johnson had access to the building because he hadn’t been disciplined since 2016.

This guy needs to be released to a nice Liberal family. They deserve him.

Inmates convicted of murder in states without capital punishment have no incentive not to kill or assault other inmates or guards. Should be kept apart from the general population.

This person should never again be in general population, or left uncuffed and unshackled when out of his cell for his hour of recreation or trips to the dispensary or wherever.
