Summary
Inmates of a Western Texas detention center started a riot and set a fire in the facility on Saturday. The warden of the Reeves County Detention Center refused to comment on the riot. Teams of law enforcement officers gained control and returning the facility to prison personnel. No law enforcement personnel were injured. In an act to get better medical treatment Inmates who included immigration detainees took two prison employees hostage after starting the riot. A negotiator was called in to take inmates. Also fire crews and additional law enforcement were called to the prison facility. The prison holds more than 2,400 inmates.
Opinion
What i think that sparked this riot was the frustration of illegal immigrants being allowed into the U.S. Plus they were asking for better medical treatment makes you think of the health care in the United States for the immigrants. Gladly no one was injured. I think that the U.S. should quit housing so many immigrants in our prisons. I think it would be a good idea to send them back to their country where they can be held in prison because those kind of people are taking our tax money that could be used towards something of greater value.
