An inmate who tortured and killed his cellmate at the Spokane County Jail six years ago is accused of gouging out another cellmate's eye at Airway Heights Corrections Center this week.
Michael L. West, 34, attacked Chad E. Bolstad, 25, on Sunday in a cell the men shared with another inmate, officials said Wednesday.
Bolstad's "left eye was gouged out at the socket, and the right eye was damaged to the point where it appears he's going to lose sight, too," said Airway Heights police Chief Lee Bennett.
West threatened to attack the third cellmate, Gary L. Welch, Bennett said.
Welch pressed a panic button to notify prison staff about 9:40 p.m., and West attacked him, according to police. Prison guards arrived to find West trying to strangle Welch with a towel, Bennett said.

Well may be the guy just wants some personal space, and prison administration didnt get the hint from the first time. Any case scenario, the prison system will be out of quite a bit of money if this Bolstad will sue them.
