KINGMAN - At the time of the July 2010 escapes and subsequent criminal rampage of three inmates from ASPC Kingman, more than 100 men convicted of murder or attempted murder were housed in the prison, unbeknownst to area residents or authorities. Now there are none. That's not to say, though, that the facility, which began as a prison meant for low-risk offenders, isn't home to men convicted of a wide range of violent crimes. As of Nov. 30, the prison housed 3,474 inmates, 1,499 (43 percent) of whom are classified as medium security. Of those, 65 inmates have been convicted of homicides, including 56 guilty of manslaughter. Inmates in several other violent categories also were in the prison on that date: • 517 for aggravated assault • 286 for armed robbery • 29 for drive-by shootings • 139 for kidnapping At the time of the escapes, prison operator Management & Training Corporation (MTC) was operating with a long list of deficiencies including a malfunctioning alarm system and faulty perimeter security, faults that the escapees used to their advantage in making their break. MTC was slow to correct the problems noted by Arizona Department of Corrections (ADC) officials, resulting in a "cure letter" from ADC Director Charles Ryan in December, a notice indicating that failure to fix the problems in 90 days would result in termination of MTC's contract. And though the prison operators didn't face any monetary sanctions per se for the security shortcomings, ADC stopped moving inmates into the complex, causing the inmate population to decrease from 3,390 at the time of the escapes to a low of 2,071 in March of this year.
