Guards demand return of guns at Woodbourne riot
About 100 correction officers and staff at Woodbourne Narcotics Rehabilitation Center demanded the return of weapons and tear gas, the end of inmate razor blades, and tighter security after Tuesday’s riot. They selected delegates to meet with Commissioner Morrow and urged officials to attend a grievance session on neutral ground. They claimed policy distortions and warned of collective action if demands aren’t met.
