OPINION
BEN H. CANTRELL, P.J., M.S.,
delivered the opinion of the court,
in which WILLIAM C. KOCH, JR., and WILLIAM B. CAIN, joined.
A prisoner in the custody of the Department of Correction suffered a severe hand injury while working in a prison industries workshop. He submitted a claim to the Tennessee Claims Commission, contending that negligence on the part of his supervisors caused his injuries. Following a hearing, the Commissioner dismissed his claim, finding that the prisoner’s own negligence was more than 50% of the cause of his injuries. We affirm.
