Danbury prison fire ruled humanly initiated report says
The Bureau of Prisons says the July 7 1977 fire at Danbury federal penitentiary was set but stops short of assigning blame. It notes overcrowding but finds no evidence it contributed to deaths, cites delays and blocked exits during evacuation, and disputes inmate claims about a guard’s actions or doors being opened.
