I've never been to prison.  But my understanding of prison life is that it's the inmates versus the guards.  Which is what makes THIS so amazing . . .

--64-year-old Kenneth Moon is a prison guard at the Hillsborough County Jail in Florida. 

--On Monday, he was suddenly attacked by an enormous inmate . . . 24-year-old Douglas Burden . . . who ran up and started choking Kenneth from behind. 

--There was nothing Kenneth could do to defend himself, and he probably would have been killed.  Except a group of INMATES came to his rescue, wrestling Douglas to the ground and calling for help on Kenneth's radio.  (!!!)

--According to a prison spokesman, quote, "These inmates likely saved Deputy Moon's life." 

--Douglas has been charged with battery on a law enforcement officer.  He's being held in solitary confinement.
