A PRISON officer who was stabbed five times by a dangerous inmate won compensation yesterday from bosses who had failed to take action on the prisoner — despite previous warnings. 

Iain Fleming was awarded an undisclosed payout from HMP Swaleside in Kent after sustaining a shoulder injury that ended his 20-year career. 

The Prison Officer Association (POA) member also suffered post-traumatic stress disorder after the assault in the prison’s segregation unit canteen.
