The Goodness of America
Unlikely First Responders
When Gwinnet County, Georgia, prison guard Walter Hobbs fell dangerously ill while on the job, the unlikely happened: Three prison inmates went to his rescue.
U.K.’s Independent reported Mitchell Smalls, Terry Loveless, and Walter Whitehead acted quickly when they noticed Hobbs lose consciousness near his desk, then fall to the concrete floor and suffer serious head injury in the process.
It was Smalls who first noticed Hobbs collapse. He immediately alerted other inmates to the incident, according to a statement from the Gwinnet County Sheriff’s Office.
