State officials say the incident that sparked a lockdown at Stillwater prison on Sunday is now resolved and under control. The prison is expected to remain in lockdown through the long weekend.
A recorded conversation sheds some insight into why inmates staged a protest at Stillwater prison on Sunday.The Minnesota Department of Corrections says a situation at the Stillwater prison has been "resolved" after an emergency lockdown on Sunday.
An inmate at Stillwater Correctional Facility paints a grim picture during a recorded phone call on Sunday. "It's supposed to be a record week of heat and they got us locked in cells. No air conditioning, no water, no showers, no nothing," he says. Paul Schnell, Commissioner of the Department of Corrections, blamed staffing concerns for those conditions. "The more staff we have, the more we can open up programming, which is the concerns of the incarcerated people, and we understand that," he says.
"People are ready to come home and work. People are ready to continue going to school. People are ready to be reunited with their families, but the DOC is choosing not to do that," David Boehnke of the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee states.
