Fighting over food is nothing new. In Kerala, there have been fights over the name of food even at weddings. Now, after a massive fight over food, the jailer has been detained by the inmates. The incident took place at the St. Louis prison in Missouri on Tuesday. It was the officials themselves who informed the press conference that the 70-year-old correctional officer was being held back by inmates.
The prisoners asked for pizza and chicken patties. However, the prison authorities could not provide this food. According to USA Today, St. Louis Public Safety Director Charles Coyle Sr. told the media that two inmates held a corrections officer hostage at 6 a.m. during breakfast.
The officer was detained for asking for pizza and chicken patties. Later, SWAT (Special Weapons and Tactics) team reached the spot at 8.17. The police spoke to the prisoners for an hour. The arrested officer was later released. He has minor injuries. So he was taken to a nearby hospital for further examination.
Officials told the media that criminal charges will be filed against the accused inmates, but it is not possible to say what charges will be filed at this time. The quality of food supplied to the prisoners is checked and ensured. Food has improved. A female officer also said that there has been no lapse in providing food to the prisoners so far.
Similarly, the name of the detained official has not been disclosed. It is only revealed that he has been working in the same prison for five years.
