Overview
- Friday’s disturbance began in Module 4 when an inmate allegedly assaulted another to force a transfer, after which the aggressor was moved to isolation.
- Several prisoners in the intended destination module erected barricades, issued threats, and about 10 to 12 maintained violent defiance until staff intervened with force.
- CSIF and Acaip‑UGT characterize the events as a mutiny and say several prison workers were injured during the intervention.
- Penitentiary sources told Europa Press there was no mutiny and no injuries, acknowledging only the use of physical force to control resisting inmates.
- CSIF is seeking stricter inmate classification, transfer and dispersion of those involved, tougher disciplinary measures, tasers, and legal recognition for staff as agents of authority.
