The Otago Daily Times says a review will be carried out into the assault at the high security unit on Saturday.
Prison director Lyndal Miles says the injured staff were assessed in hospital - but discharged later that day ... and are all keen to return to work.
She says assaults on staff are unacceptable and any prisoner found guilty of an assault will be held to account.
Four prisoners have been placed in directed segregation - and will be charged with misconduct.
