SEE IT: Photos show destruction from 6-hour prison stand off — ‘Wouldn’t have happened if there were locks’

A Massachusetts sheriff’s office released photos Tuesday showing the aftermath of a six-hour jail standoff between inmates and staff after the facility attempted to relocate inmates during renovations.

The standoff at Bristol County House of Correction started Friday morning after inmates refused to be relocated so the jail could add toilets, door locks and suicide-resistant bunk beds. Correctional officers abandoned the relocation effort as tensions started to rise and left the area to avoid becoming hostages, locking the door behind them.Soon after, the inmates began to trash the facility.

"If there were locks on the doors, the risk of this happening would have been far lower," he said."Being able to go into lockdown or lock the inmates in the cells would have helped quell the disturbance before it started." During the standoff, inmates made a list of demands to the jail staff, including specific magazines, cheaper canteen prices, more vocational and substance abuse programming and televisions in cells.
