Arizona State Prison Under Martial Law
National guardsmen assume control of Florence prison to curb a wave of escapes tied to crowding and funding shortages. A company with machine guns and bombs arrives to prop up security and plans a stockade to hold convicts who slept outside walls. Twenty escapes in six weeks, five on Thursday, with guards diverted to search earlier escapees. Governor Stanford states the term is not “escape” but departure. The prison’s commanding officer now reports to the governor, superseding Warden Eager.
