Two jail guards at the Orleans Parish Prison are suspended without pay after a couple of inmates assaulted another detainee this week, breaking his nose.
The incident happened Tuesday afternoon around 12:40 p.m.
The inmate did not report it until four hours later when he was brought to a visit with his attorney.
The prison's surveillance video shows the deputies who should have been on duty in the unit were instead in the control room, according to the sheriff.
An internal investigation is underway.
