7 inmates were killed and around 17 others were injured in a riot that erupted in a South Carolina State prison. The officials of the prison claim that it was all about contraband and territory. The deaths were due to stabbing a and none of the staff was injured.
This is crazy to me because although they are in prison some say that it is safer then being free. I believe that this was a very tough position for interference between the staff and the inmates. This is very relatable to the US governments role in the citizens life, they didn’t know whether to stay back or interfere. I believe in this instance the guards should have interfere with tear gas or pellet guns because 7 people have died over useless fights in prison. This is very important because we need prison reform in the US. This is similar to when the French and Indians were fighting over territory.
