LIVE UPDATE: A Mass. sheriff is discussing the jail protest that caused major damage, sharing new images from the aftermath.
The incident began, Heroux has said, when House of Correction staff tried to move inmates out of single our double cells and into a group setting so to facilitate the work. About 17 of the inmates decided they didn't want to move, prompting about 80 in one housing unit to protest starting about 9:30 a.m., forcing officers out of the unit.
The groups provided a list of demands, which Heroux said officials took seriously, but could not accommodate. When officials gave a response, the inmates reportedly tore up the letter. "They were not really interested in cooperating," Heroux said, noting that some of the problems started when rumors began flying over what the inmates could expect when moved to a different unit. Among those rumors were that there would be less recreational time, less visiting time and other reduced privileges.
The sheriff said that while the situation went"sideways" and"past the point of no return," he would not call the situation a riot, because despite the damage, the inmates were not being aggressive toward each other. The people Heroux described as the"ringleaders" have been sent to different facilities to avoid a repeat of the situation. The other inmates were spread out across other housing units.The scene inside the Massachusetts House of Correction in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, after a destructive protest on Friday, April 21, 2023.The scene inside the Massachusetts House of Correction in Dartmouth, Massachusetts, after a destructive protest on Friday, April 21, 2023.
