Arizona inmates, others may face riot charges

The Tucson Citizen

Investigators on Wednesday turned over to a prosecutor a report on a prison riot a month ago, saying inmates including some sent from Arizona could be charged with rioting, battery and other crimes.

Henry County (Indiana) Prosecutor Kit Crane will determine whether to file charges. Crane also could ask the investigators to look further into the disturbance at the New Castle Correctional Facility.

About 500 prisoners burned mattresses and broke windows at the privately run state prison April 24. Those in the melee included prisoners from Arizona under a contract with that state.
