ATLANTA (AP) - Authorities have locked down four Georgia prisons for five days for security reasons after discovering that inmates were launching a protest seeking better work and living conditions, corrections officials said Monday. Authorities said the lockdown confines inmates to their cells and restricts them from visitation rights, telephone calls and visits to the commissary. There have been no major incidents or issues reported at the four prisons, which will remain locked down until an internal investigation and a security review are completed, said Department of Corrections spokeswoman Peggy Chapman. She said the state’s other 26 prisons are operating normally. “The department’s mission of maintaining safe and secure facilities is nonnegotiable and will not be jeopardized,” said Brian Owens, the department’s commissioner. “The department will ensure appropriate safety measures are in place before the lockdown is lifted.” Read More. |
