Rioting Inmates Get Control Of Half of Michigan Prison
Dangerous mental inmates were freed as the riots moved through half of the cellblocks which form the other wall of the prison.
Four guards were held as hostages by inmates of the disciplinary barracks, and leaders of the revolt warned "we'll toss out a dead hostage if you start shooting."
Armed with meat cleavers, huge carving knives, and other weapons seized in the prison kitchens, the inmates carved a path of destruction through five cellblocks, freeing additional prisoners as they went.
Jackson, Mich.—(U.P.)—More than 2,000 rioting inmates seized control of half of Southern Michigan prison today, setting fire to four buildings and destroying everything they could lay their hands on.

Awaiting re-inforcements Warden Julian Frisbie pulls all guards back into the administration building. He left six state troopers armed with machine guns to keep the main corridor clear.
Three guards were injured in their escape from the rioters.
