They immediately called 911 on the officer's phone and pulled off his vest to try to keep him cool until help arrived. The officer had apparently collapsed due to the humidity and a medical condition.

At that moment, it wasn't about who was wearing stripes or a badge -- it was about saving a man's life.

"They stayed right there with him," Moats continued. “If he didn’t have any help, I don’t know what would have happened to him. The inmates did a really good job. I’m extremely proud of them."

One of the inmates, Greg Williams, told a local TV station in an interview that the group knew they had to do the right thing. He said, "When that happened, in my opinion, it wasn't about who is in jail and who wasn't. It was about a man going down, and we had to help him."

The inmates, who are all jailed for minor criminal offenses, were rewarded with desserts and pizza in the park for a job well done, and thankfully, the deputy sheriff has since recovered and returned back to work.
