History of Riots

[edit]

The article states that in 1902, 17 prisoners "blew out the end of one wing" and killed 1 inmate and 2 others escaped and were never captured. The next sentence reads, "Later, a group of inmates seized control of the segregated white wing and held it for eighteen hours before surrendering." Was this event part of the same event in 1902 or was this a separate event - and if so, when did it occur? Jtyroler (talk) 07:22, 12 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
