Video shows prison riot; inmates were "getting ready for war"

BOSTON -- Rioting inmates armed themselves and “were getting ready for war” during a disturbance at a maximum security prison in Massachusetts, the state’s top public safety official said Tuesday.

The riot at the Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center began with a Monday afternoon fight between two inmates and quickly escalated when 47 inmates refused orders to return to their cells. The disturbance ended about three hours later after a state police response team flooded the unit with pepper spray and the inmates gradually gave up, prison officials said.

Former New England Patriots player Aaron Hernandez is an inmate at the prison, according to the state’s online records, but officials said confidentiality rules prohibit them from saying whether he was housed in the unit where the disturbance took place or whether he was involved in any way. Sources told CBS Boston he is housed in a different unit.

Should have issued them a .45 and 5 rounds of ammunition and tell them that the last survivor will be pardoned.
