A recent study on prison violence revealed that over 200 riots have occurred between 1900 and 1970. The magnitude and dangerousness of more recent riots have increased with overcrowded conditions. Inmates and correctional officers place different emphasis on factors contributing to riots. Research into rioting reveals three important procedures that can assist in preventing riots: inmate grievance mechanisms to hear and resolve inmate complaints, use of inmate councils to communicate with prison officials, and use of attitudinal survey instruments for inmates to communicate their concerns.
Capt. Charles Smith from the Forsyth County (Ga.) Sheriff’s Office says disturbances in the local county jail are as common as they are in prisons because, while the setting is smaller, the inmate population is the same. "Every prisoner starts out in the county jail," he explains. "We house murderers, rapists, child molesters, and we also have the local DUI offender who messed up once and won't do it again. Many of our inmates are really hardcore people who are going to prison and we have to control them until the state finally picks them up." While many jail-based incidents may never escalate to riot status, smaller disturbances occur frequently and must be quelled quickly, according to Valdemar. "Jails are a powder keg waiting to go off. There is so much potential for things to go wrong," agrees Sgt. Kenny Hughes, Forsyth County training coordinator. "Once things start to happen, there isn't time to come up with a plan for how to handle the disturbance. That plan needs to be in place already."
Failure Conditions. When a riot is too far gone, all the icons at the bottom of the screen will disappear and a message will pop up saying FAILURE-UNCONTROLLED RIOT. Shortly after six trucks, each carrying six soldiers, will arrive at the prison. The soldiers will then attempt to kill every prisoner in the prison, regardless of Security Level, rioting or not. Even surrendering will only delay the massacre. However, there have been instances where heavily armed prisoners hold out inside the Armoury and the soldiers fail to kill them, even though the soldiers are armed with assault rifles. Under no circumstances should you allow one of your prisoners to get a hold of these, as an angry prisoner with an assault rifle will mean a horrific massacre.
A brief description of each event is followed by a discussion of strategies and procedures to use during the three phases of a prison riot: before, during, and after. Strategies to prevent and deal with riots must address many factors, including: Maintaining supervision of an experienced staff who follow sound security practices. Ensuring the security of the physical plant and equipment. Discerning the signs of a probable riot from false clues and relaying reliable information up the chain of command. Selecting the most appropriate means of resolving a riot: use of force, negotiations, or a combination of tactics. Using strategies that range from immediate use of force to waiting until inmate leaders are ready to negotiate. Addressing issues of staff morale and emotional support after a riot ends. Incorporating the lessons learned from experiences with disturbances into revised riot plans.
