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.
