People were evacuated Sunday from a federal prison camp in Sumterville due to suspected carbon monoxide exposure that sent two employees and three inmates to the hospital, U.S. Bureau of Prisons officials said .
The incident happened around 2:45 a.m. Sunday at the minimum-security Sumterville Coleman Satellite prison camp inside the Coleman Federal Correctional Complex, the same complex where sports doctor Larry Nassar was stabbed multiple times in beginning of this month. The resort has been reported to be understaffed.
Prison employees contacted emergency medical services Sunday and cordoned off the area to provide treatment for those at risk of exposure, Bureau of Prisons officials said. No other people arrested were injured and “at no time was the public in danger,” officials said in a news release.
According to the federal government, there are more than 450 adult inmates incarcerated at the camp.
