While attempting to subdue an inmate that was hearing voices and had thrown a chair at a security Sergeant,
approximately twenty Inmates began destroying items in the housing area (TV, microwave, countertops, and sprinkler
heads). Chemical Agents were used to disperse the inmates and regain control of the housing unit. There were no injuries
to staff or inmates and the property damage was limited.
Four Inmates were late for breakfast and were not fed. They along with six other Inmates began to make threatening
statements related to starting a riot. Staff contacted the Warden. Upon the Warden’s arrival he and other staff spoke with
each inmate individually. All but two agreed to return to their cells. The two inmates that refused were escorted without
force.
A total of twenty-five staff and twenty-nine Inmates were involved in a disturbance that occurred on Housing Unit 1 “D” pod.
The disturbance was the result of an Inmate gaining control of security keys and let the other Inmates out of their cells.

Correctional Emergency Response Team (CERT) utilized chemical agents to regain control of the pod. There were no
serious injuries or significant property damage as a result of the disturbance.
An Inmate was able to gain access to the dayroom room his cell. The Inmate gained control of the Officer’s keys and
opened other cell doors. Approximately ten other Inmates exited their cells. The Correctional Emergency Response Team

was no significant property damage.

The entire inmate population (approx. 2100) engaged in a food strike and refused to partake of any meals. The chief
complaint of the inmates centered on changes related to food preparation. The facility initiated a lock down and identified
the instigators. While conducting interviews on a dorm the inmates assigned became disruptive and refused orders given
by staff. The inmates refused to allow any inmate to be removed from the dorm for interviews. The CERT team was
assembled for a show of force and the inmates retreated to the back of the dorm and began verbally challenging staff.
Chemical agents were deployed and the CERT entered the dorm and restrained the inmates. Once the dorm was
decontaminated all the inmates were placed back into the dorm. After interviews were conducted to address the inmates
concerns normal operations resumed without incident.
Approximately 150 inmates in a housing dormitory refused to rack-up due to complaints about a correctional officer.
Compliance was obtained through a show of force. The housing unit was locked down for four days while administrative
staff interviewed the inmates.
Approximately 14 inmates began flooding the special housing units by using objects to obstruct the drainage in their toilets
because they were scheduled to be transferred from the facility. No use of force was issued.
