The Clinton Correctional Facility has been under the microscope since the escape of two prisoners from its maximum security division in June, which led to a 23-day multimillion dollar manhunt. This weekend, the prison was placed on lockdown after two prisoner altercations. No corrections officers were injured after prisoners had to be subdued following two fights this past weekend. But the fights were serious enough that prison administrators placed the facility on lockdown. Prisoners have been confined to their cells while corrections officers conduct a complete search of facility. NYS Correctional Officers and Police Benevolent Association Northern Region Vice President Chris Hansen explains what happened. “On Thursday evening there was an altercation in the North Yard between four to six inmates, approximately, and the inmates were subdued and the facility continued as normal. On Saturday they had another altercation. At that point they dropped chemical agents into the yard. And that was a larger altercation between inmates, with weapons. At that point because of the violence escalating at Clinton Correctional the Department and the administration at Clinton Correctional decided to go into the lockdown mode.” Read More. |
