Report links inexperienced guards, idle time to riot
Source: By CHARLES WILSON, The Associated Press (IN), May 25, 2007
Inexperienced guards and too much idle time for prisoners who were transferred from Arizona too quickly contributed to a disturbance last month at a privately run state prison, according to a state report released Thursday (.pdf).
...... The medium-security New Castle prison is run by Boca Raton, Fla.-based GEO Group Inc., but the report does not find any faults by the company. The report said the New Castle prison needed a "longer, more staged transfer of inmates" to allow time to hire and train guards and other staffers.
