(AP) — An Omaha woman who had sought to become a prison guard is suing the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services, saying the agency discriminated against her during her training because she has diabetes.

Jennifer Henning says she was hired in April 2012 as a correctional officer at the Omaha Correctional Center after she passed a physical test and received clearance from a doctor.

But the 29-year-old Henning says when she reported for requisite officer training in Lincoln, her training specialist refused let her carry an emergency glucose injector and repeatedly humiliated her in front of other trainees about her medical condition. Within days, Henning’s lawsuit says, she was fired from the corrections job.

A spokeswoman with the department declined to comment, saying she cannot comment on pending litigation.
