   The Minnesota prison inmate who partially blinded a corrections officer in a   
   brutal attack last year has been sentenced to an additional 15 years behind   
   bars.   
      
   Dominique Antoine Jefferson, 37, pleaded guilty Thursday to first-degree   
   assault for attacking a correctional sergeant at Minnesota Correctional   
   Facility–Oak Park Heights in January 2023.   
      
   According to the charges, the attack happened after Jefferson asked to speak   
   to a member of the prison's crisis intervention team. After a "brief exchange   
   of words," the sergeant instructed Jefferson to return to his cell — at   
   which time he took a    
   clear plastic mouthguard out of his pocket, placed it in his mouth, told the   
   sergeant to "ring the bell" and said, "I've been waiting for you."   
      
   When the sergeant reached for her radio to call for assistance, Jefferson   
   punched her in the right eye with a closed fist, causing her to fall to the   
   floor. Other officers quickly restrained Jefferson, "who continued to verbally   
   assault and threaten them,   
   " a news release from the Washington County attorney says.   
      
   The release also notes the "significant" injuries and difficult recovery the   
   officer has endured since:   
      
   The sergeant was transported by ambulance to Regions Hospital where she was   
   found to have significant damage to her right eye and numerous facial   
   fractures. Despite undergoing multiple surgeries, the injuries sustained from   
   the attack caused irreparable    
   damage and resulted in the permanent loss of vision in her right eye. She also   
   required additional surgical procedures to repair the fractures to her facial   
   bones and continues to see medical providers for follow-up care.   
      
   “In a profession already burdened with the challenges of ensuring safety and   
   order, correctional officers should never have to face the added threat of   
   violence,” said Washington County Attorney Kevin Magnuson in a statement.   
   “We commend the    
   courageous correctional sergeant for her resilience in the face of adversity,   
   and we continue to prioritize our commitment to pursuing justice in support of   
   the safety and well-being of those who serve within our correctional   
   facilities.”   
      
   Jefferson has been incarcerated at Minnesota Correctional Facility–Oak Park   
   Heights since 2005 for aiding and abetting second-degree murder. The release   
   says his 15-year assault sentence will begin when he has finished the term of   
   imprisonment for the    
   2005 sentence.
