According to an initial police report, Michelle Knight, who was abducted in 2002, said she had suffered at least five miscarriages in captivity after her alleged abductor Ariel Castro had intentionally starved and beaten her.
She used to love to slip into the chapel, alone, in the daytime, praying that she would die before her mother did, in order to escape being the scapegoat of her father.
Sunday's incident comes after a correctional officer in New Jersey was hospitalized last month after being badly beaten by an inmate at Northern State Prison in Newark.
