Officer Janice Biggs, from St. Louis, Missouri, was shot several times, but is expected to live.
The gunbattle began as three U.N. vehicles carrying 21 U.S. correctional officers, two Turkish officers and one Austrian were leaving the prison, which was guarded by five Jordanian special police unit officers, officials said.
The correctional officers had arrived in Kosovo just 10 days earlier and were training at the prison.
Biggs said the shootout "reminded her of a Clint Eastwood movie," said her father, Jim Biggs.
