BRANDON -- A guard was killed and, at one point, hostages were taken
during a riot at a Mississippi prison that holds illegal immigrants,
authorities said.
The Sunday riot at the privately run Adams County Correctional Center in
southwest Mississippi began around 2:40 p.m. CDT and involved dozens of
inmates before it was brought under control that night.
Adams County Sheriff Chuck Mayfield told the Natchez Democrat that 15
employees were freed at one time during the uprising by opening a fence
and protecting the route with guns. The sheriff said in a statement
early Monday that there were at least two dozen hostages being held at
one time.
Adams County Coroner James Lee confirmed that a guard died, but said he
could not provide any other details until the correctional officer's
family was notified. In addition to the guard who was killed, five other
correctional officers and three inmates were injured.
Emilee Beach, a spokeswoman at the Adams County Correctional Center said
that after the disturbance was brought under control Sunday night,
inmates were being searched and sent back to their cells.
Beach said the prison, owned and operated by Corrections Corp. of
America, holds illegal immigrants, most for charges of re-entering the
United States after being deported.
The five injured guards were taken to a hospital and treated for
injuries that weren't considered life-threatening.
The 2,567-bed prison in Natchez houses adult male illegal immigrants for
the Federal Bureau of Prisons.
CCA spokesman Steve Owen confirmed in an email "there has been one
employee death" but he said he could not provide more details immediately.
He said in an email early Monday "it is my understanding that all staff
are accounted for." He said the company was investigating what caused
the uprising.
Adams County Sheriff's Department spokeswoman Emily Ham said no inmates
had escaped the facility.
After the uprising began, CCA's Special Response Team and the
Mississippi Highway Patrol's SWAT team sought to quell activities within
the prison while state and local law-enforcement officers secured the
perimeter of the complex, Mayfield said in a statement.
Mayfield added that prison personnel had "gained total control" of the
complex.
"Right now, we have three inmate injuries that were probably sustained
from other inmates -- one being a stab wound, concussion and rib
injuries," Mayfield added. "There were no escapes."
According to its website, Nashville, Tenn.-based CCA houses about 75,000
offenders and detainees in more than 60 facilities around the country.
Sunday's riot is not the first time CCA prisons have seen violence. The
high level of violence at a CCA-run prison in Idaho has prompted federal
lawsuits, public scrutiny and increased state oversight. In 2010,
Vermont inmates being held at a CCA prison in Tennessee were subdued
with chemical grenades after refusing to return to their cells.

yesterday to urge the German government not to extradite Captain Paul
Watson to El Salvador, where he would most likely be tortured and
murdered in a prison if he were sent there. I'm the third guy from the
left, bottom row, in the black and white photo. People were tactful
enough not to comment about the bad haircut of one of our "Hisler
youth." (Just kidding!)

We urge you all to support our hero, Captain Paul Watson. Fuck the
fishermen who cut the fins off of sharks and throw them back in the
water alive to die agonizing deaths.

Louisiana incarcerates X times more prisoners than foreign nations do.
The misleading part there...is that those listed foreign nations simply
kill their prisoners. Executes them. Which of course frees up bed space.
The national reincarceration rate is about 74%. IE..74% of those who
have been in prison, wind up in prison again. Louisiana is about 50%
Seems as though 24% +/- more cons in Lousiana learn not to go back to
prison.
The prison population of Lousiana is predominatnly black:
" a criminal justice reform group, shows that in 2005 the white
imprisonment rate was 523 people per 100,000 people; the
African-American rate was nearly four times that, 2,452 per 100,000."
Across the US...54% of the prison population is black. In Lousiana..the
prison population is over 75% black. Yet the population of Louisiana is
only 36% black.
http://www.census.gov/census2000/pdf/la_tab_1.PDF
The costs of imprisonment in Lousiana is $7000 a year per prisoner
In California..its $52,000 a year per prisoner.
And so on and so forth.
So Id have to give Lousiana a strong thumbs up just on the cost savings
of incarceration of its prioners. Not to mention the reduced
reincarceration rates of its prisoners.
I found it interesting that the people who wrote the series of articles
on the prison system there..tended to be...minorities. The same
minorities that make up the biggest numbers in the prison population.
My recommendations to those folks...teach your people not to break the
law. Period

such a man for their? president.. Blaming the prince of the

fools that made him their prince".

In TN in the 80's, we had more whites than blacks. Maybe a 60/40
