Three inmates in a Georgia jail have been commended for rushing to save one of their guards who passed out and split his head open.

The incident, which drew attention on social media, has sparked a flurry of donations to the inmates' accounts.

The Gwinnett County Sheriff's Office said the inmates had pounded on their cell doors when they saw the deputy fall — when he awoke, he thought an inmate needed help and released the cell doors to free them.

The three inmates, Terry Loveless, Walter Whitehead, and Mitchell Smalls, then came to his aid and used his phone and radio to call for help.

The inmates later said in a video that they knew the guard would have done the same for them, and that they couldn't just leave him bleeding on the ground.
