Lightning Strikes at Grafton Prison | Cincinnati News

Lightning struck during a summer storm at Grafton Correctional Institution, hitting sixteen incarcerated men as they exited the dining hall. In the chaos, one man was unconscious and bleeding, others lost consciousness or stopped breathing. Staff—including case manager Jacob Tolley, nurses Kyle Price and London Barber, and Lt. Harrison Jackson, Jr.—rushed to action, performing CPR and using a defibrillator in the rain. Ambulances and a helicopter responded, transporting all sixteen to hospitals. By August 13th, most were back at the prison, four still in stable condition. Authorities are now investigating how the strike occurred, highlighting both the danger of such events and the heroic response of correctional staff.
