In Delaware, prisoners at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna have launched an uprising, taking correctional officers hostage and demanding improved education and rehabilitation services. The rebellion began Wednesday morning, when some prisoners took four guards hostage and issued their demands. At around 5 a.m. Thursday morning, Delaware state police stormed the building. Authorities say one corrections officer who was being held hostage is dead. This is a phone call from inside the prison Wednesday. Listen carefully.
Prisoner: “Donald Trump, everything that he did, all the things that he’s doing now, we know that the institution is going to change for the worse. We know the institution is going to change for the worse. We’ve got demands that you need to pay attention to. Education. We want education, first and foremost. We want a rehabilitation program that works for everybody. We want the money to be allocated so we can know exactly what’s going on in the prison.”
