Any idea what’s going on here, multiple copters, unending sirens, and even a few news copters around.

Seems to be all over, not just localized to one area, prison escape?

Been going on since about 1600 hrs.

Well damn, hope the corrections officers are safe.

That’s a tough job at the best of times

I heard it was the GEO yard, Florence West.

GEO Group lost control of a fight that spiraled into a major disturbance. 7 injured, one inmate flown out, (betting the original target), and one officer hurt, no word if GEO contract staff or Department of Corrections TSU team member when they got called in. Minimal damage to facilities, plenty of less than lethal munitions discharged. Prison was on lock down over the weekend, probably have several of them in my unit now.

No, just a minor disturbance at a private low custody yard.
