Nights 8-1 Opm Ohio prison riot leaves 6 dead LUCASVILLE, Ohio — Part of Ohio’sonly maximum security prison remained under siege Monday after hundreds of prisoners rioted, killing six inmates and taking eight guards hostage. Negotiators tried to work out a deal with some of the state’s most danger ous prisoners, asking them to free one hostage in exchange for a chance to outline their demands to the media. About 450 prisoners were barri caded inside one ccllblock of the prison, located about 70 miles south of Columbus in south-central Ohio. Prison officials said a scuffle among a few prisoners escalated into a riot Sunday afternoon. Ten guards and eight inmates were injured. Negotiations were under way Mon day, said Sharron Komegay, a spokes woman for the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The prisoners “arc tired and hun gry. . . .We are at a very sensitive stage,” she told reporters outside the 69-acrc prison. Authorities said the eight hostages were alive. Officials cut off electricity and water to the ccllblock, and refused to deliver food. Prisoners were last fed at about noon Sunday, but they may have stored some food in their lock ers, she said. The rest of the prison’s 1,819 in mates, including death-row inmates, ware confined to cells away from the affected area. Ms. Komcgay said prisoners who took 24-inch batons from guards dur ing the riots killed the six convicts. “I think it’s probably pretty obvi ous who killed them,” she said. “Our staff wouldn’t do that.” The bodies of five inmates were released early Monday. The sixth body was thrown through a ccllblock door later in the morning. Ms. Korncgay said he had been dead for many hours. The head of a state prison inspec tion panel said in Columbus he was not surprised by the violence. “These arc the ones that for the most part cannot get along in any of the other prisons,” said state Rep. Michael Shoemaker, who heads the eight-member House-Senate Correc tional Institution Inspection Commit tee. “There arc a lot of guys who have a lot of lime to sit around and think of bad things to do, and they’re good at, it.” Southern Ohio Correctional Facility' Inmates barricaded since Sunday will not be allowed to tell the media their demands unless they release one of their hostages, prison officials said today. Eight guards were taken hostage after a riot broke out, five prisoners were killed and at least 18 other guards and inmates were injured. 321 inmates refused to take part in the riots and were removed to other cells. m-i Basic information: •Total acreage; 1900 •Acreage under fence: 68.9 •Acreage under roof: 22 •Buildings interconnected by corridors •1,645 single occupancy cells, each 6 ft. x 10 ft. x 9 ft. •"K" and "L" cell blocks house 80 men each.
