Mock Riot Gets New Warden

MOUNDSVILLE, W.Va. — Annual event will continue with new leadership

Despite funding issues and concerns the event might not be able to continue, a 16th version of the Mock Prison Riot at the former West Virginia Penitentiary will happen in May, officials said Friday.

The event, previously planned and run by the West Virginia High Technology Consortium Foundation, will now be handled by the West Virginia Division of Corrections. According to Mike Coleman, director of security for the DOC, the foundation lost grant funding and was unable to continue holding the event.

"The foundation attempted to line up other sources of funding, but they were unable to do so," Coleman said.

Instead of letting the event die, Commissioner of Corrections Jim Rubenstein authorized the DOC to pursue the process of transitioning the event to the DOC, which has now assumed responsibilities for the 2012 event, as well as future mock riots.

"We are planning for this year and hopefully more," Coleman said.

The key to being able to hold future mock riots is the ability to make the event self-sustaining, Coleman said. To do that, the DOC will change the business model for it, charging exhibitors booth fees of $500 for one booth and $250 for each additional booth with a maximum of three booths available for each vendor.

Despite the cost for exhibitors, personnel from corrections and law enforcement will continue to be admitted for free to take part in the event, which Coleman said will continue to offer great opportunities.

    The directory includes the biographies of judges presidentially appointed to serve during good behavior since 1789 on the U.S. district courts, U.S. courts of appeals, Supreme Court of the United States, and U.S. Court of International Trade, as well as the former U.S. circuit courts, Court of Claims, U.S. Customs Court, and U.S. Court of Customs and Patent Appeals. Also included are judges who received presidential recess appointments to the above named courts but were not confirmed by the Senate to serve during good behavior. The Waco Federal Judge is experienced in patent litigation and starting to become the go-to district for intellectual property cases. The appointment of Waco’s new federal judge, a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that narrows the venue for patent cases and Waco’s home in the federal Western District of Texas have combined into a perfect storm that could drastically alter Waco’s legal landscape.
