Three Mississippi prison guards charged with sexual battery

Three guards at a Mississippi prison have been arrested.

The guards, whose names have not been released, work at Yazoo County Regional Correction Facility.

WLBT-TV reports the three are charged with sexual battery after being accused last month of having sexual contact with two female inmates.

One guard is charged with three counts of sexual battery; the other two are charged with one count each. It was unknown if any of them have an attorney.
