The riot and disorder followed a series of provocations including a church incident and disputes over dormitory living, with four inmates and three staff injured and meals altered as authorities worked to restore order.

After hard winter state’s citrus industry dying
South Louisiana’s citrus growers face ruin after a killer freeze that destroyed 300 000 to 400 000 trees. The government aid gap for citrus farmers, unlike wheat or cotton, leaves many with no federal relief. Some replanting efforts begin with 50 000 seedlings, but labor shortages and unsuitable bare root trees from Florida complicate recovery.
