New information has been released in the case of two prison guards in Texas who were arrested after they allegedly refused to help a prisoner whose cell was on fire.

As Law&Crime previously reported, Bavousett was being housed in the prison's extended cell block, which is the facility's highest security level, when at about 1 a.m., he allegedly set fire to his own mattress and his cell immediately began to fill with smoke.
