JEFFERSON CITY • Missouri’s prisons were largely quiet over the weekend against the backdrop of a nationwide threat by inmates to go on strike.
George Lombardi, director of the Missouri Department of Corrections, told a legislative panel Monday that the state’s 21 facilities experienced no uprisings as part of a push by activists aimed at highlighting labor conditions within prisons.
“We’re very fortunate we had none,” Lombardi told members of the House Appropriations-Public Safety Committee.
There were problems in other states.
