overcapacity. The unit houses a varied group of prisoners, including both low-risk prisoners 
and those that are either a danger to other prisoners or at danger from other prisoners (DOC, 
2004) The hostage situation that occurred in 2004 was the result of several factors, broadly 
split onto three categories. First, there were rules and regulations that would have worked to 
prevent the situation if relevant regulations and rules were enforced. Secondly, the response 
called in too many parties. Finally, preventative measures utilising new technologies and 
modern methods should be in place. 
The situation itself consisted of two inmates armed with shanks taking a correctional 
officer and a kitchen worker hostage, after which they used the officer’s uniform to access the 
tower in the centre of the unit, giving them access to weaponry and putting them in a high-
security location which they could defend relatively easily. It is important at this stage to note 
that the offer to help with the escape attempt was given to various other prisoners, who 
universally declined The department of Public Safety, FBI, and sheriff’s office also sent 
additional personnel. Since there was no obvious route into the tower for a tactical 
deployment, negotiations began. The situation lasted for 15 days,
