An officer at the Massachusetts state prison in Shirley has been suspended for allegedly helping spark a protest in which inmates refused to return to their cells. State prisons spokeswoman Kelly Nantel says two staff members came forward with information that they overheard the officer incite the inmates to demonstrate. The officer, whose name was not released, was suspended with pay. The inmates refused to return to their cells last Thursday when they learned the amount of time they would be allowed out of their cells would be cut in half. The inmates remained calm and no one was hurt. The medium security facility with about 12-hundred prisoners remains in lockdown. Nantel says 15 inmates suspected of being ringleaders in the protest have been transferred to other facilities. |
