In Nebraska, two prisoners have been found dead after authorities reclaimed control of a prison following an uprising over the weekend. Prisoners had seized control of half the housing units at the Tecumseh State Correctional Institution on Sunday, setting fires and tearing down walls, ceiling tiles and security cameras. A prisoner told the Lincoln Journal Star newspaper the uprising took place after repeated attempts to get prison officials to address poor conditions at the overcrowded prison, including a lack of access to jobs and exercise. Prisoners said they had intended to deliver a petition demanding improvements. Authorities say the revolt began after a staff member tried to break up an unauthorized gathering.
