In this amazing video, a group of inmates in a Florida jail swarm to the safety of a 67-year-old guard being strangled by another prisoner.
Surveillance cameras captured 24-year-old Douglas Burden charge at the guard and get him in a choke hold.
Moments later, other inmates, including alleged murderers and drug traffickers, ran in but instead of helping Burden injure the guard they punched him in the face, knocking him to the floor, before helping prise the assailant's arm off the guard's neck. One inmate even radioed for help.
A large number of guards arrived shortly after the intervention and restrained the attacker.
Prison guard Anthony Brown said: "You would think that they would walk away, so somewhere in their hearts, there must be some goodness."

That's quite a scene. I think after spending a lot of time there, prisoners feel that life is precious....either that or most of them have been wrongly convicted individuals.
