History
![[icon]](#/media/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. (September 2016) |
A federal civil rights lawsuit filed in 2016 accused prison guards of beating a prisoner and then fatally gassing him with 600 grams of chemical agents.[3]
The facility was the scene of riots in June 2016. Some three hundred inmates destroyed two housing dorms after drilling through a concrete and brick wall using improvised tools. The prisoners reportedly surrendered after about two hours, and no injuries were reported.[4] This was the third such disturbance within six months.
A fourth disturbance occurred in November 2016.[5]
