He is listed in stable condition, according to two sources familiar with the situation.
Staff members who were guarding Nassar were working overtime, according to a source briefed on the investigation.
Nassar was housed in a unit with all inmates convicted of sexual assault, according to a source familiar with the situation.
The source said this was in part due to staffing shortages at the Bureau of Prisons.
