Miss. Prison Riot Leaves Guard Dead, 8 Hurt

A prison guard was killed Sunday during a riot that also injured five other correctional officers and hurt three inmates at a privately run facility in Mississippi that holds illegal immigrants, authorities said.

The riot began about 2:40 p.m. CDT and involved dozens of inmates before it was brought under control late Sunday night. Adams County Coroner James Lee confirmed that a guard died, but said he could not provide any other details until the correctional officer's family was notified.

Emilee Beach, a spokeswoman at the Adams County Correctional Center in southwest Mississippi, said the uprising involved multiple inmates but she wasn't sure exactly how many because the investigation was still ongoing.

Wow. One officer is killed and many more are injured and only three inmates are hurt in the process??? That'll show them. Pain compliance works. Works better when there's MORE pain inflicted on the convicts than they inflict on the working men and women.

Kinder Gentler just doesn't work people.
