A spokesman from corrective services confirmed a prisoner had been taken from Wolston Correctional Facility on Friday afternoon.
"(Corrective Services) can confirm that a male prisoner from Wolston Correctional Centre has been transported to hospital following an incident this afternoon.
"The man was conveyed by Queensland Ambulance Service after informing correctional officers of an injury. It appears there are no suspicious circumstances as to how he sustained the injury."
Corrective services refused to confirm the prisoner was the same man who allegedly attacked Cowan, but sources have revealed it is the same man.
Cowan was rushed to hospital on Friday morning after a fellow prisoner poured boiling water over him, causing burns to his face, head, hands and chest.
He was initially taken to the Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital for treatment but has since been taken to the secure unit at the Princess Alexandra Hospital.
