Six inmates got their sentences reduced after saving a life of a deputy who collapsed on duty in Polk County, Georgia.
The guard collapsed while supervising a work detail at a cemetery with the inmates. The guard and six convicts got to know each other after working together for seven hours a day, five days a week according to WXIA-TV.
June 19 was a hot and humid day in Georgia. The deputy who was dressed in the full gear including a bulletproof vest collapsed and the inmates came to his aid immediately. They removed his vest to ease his breathing and cooled him off. They then used his phone to call 911.
After receiving proper medical attention, the deputy was stabilized.
In the interview with WXIA-TV, the deputy was proud of his guys and said, "None of my guys ran. None of them did anything they shouldn't have done."
The six inmates will get 25% of their sentences reduced.
