# January 7 stabbing at USP Hazelton

Other January 7, 2026 · [USP Hazelton](https://federalprisondude.com/resources/federal-prisons/haz-usp-hazelton-united-states-penitentiary-west-virginia)

What the local press ran on this, in one place. I have not written it up beyond the headlines, and the links go to the outlets themselves.

One report says two of the three injured inmates returned to the facility. That doesn't make a stabbing minor, but it is useful context when a headline makes the whole compound sound like a war zone.
