- Abdulrahman El Bahnasawy was sentenced to 50 years after attacking two guards at Allenwood on December 7, 2020.
- The sentence will run consecutively with his ongoing 40-year term for plotting a planned ISIS attack in New York.
- He used a weapon made from a steel desk; one guard lost his right eye because of the attack.
- In November 2025, he pleaded guilty to assault, intent to murder, prison contraband, and providing material support to ISIS.
