Inmates at Reeves County (Texas) Detention Center I and II have resumed "normal participation in the food service eating schedule," according to a news release. Inmates had gone on a hunger strike, refusing to take morning, noon or evening meals because they were unhappy about changes in the security procedure at the jail, according to a statement. Administrators at the facility have put a plan in place for the "gradual return to normal operations." "The facility remains calm, and no serious incidents have been associated with this event," the statement said. Efforts to reach prison officials Monday were unsuccessful. The center has three units. Units 1 and 2 house mainly inmates from the U.S. Bureau of Prisons and U.S. Marshal Service. Unit 3 houses inmates from the State of Arizona. Units 1 and 2 have room for more than 2,100 prisoners and unit 3 has 960 beds. |
