JUST ONE STATION: Video shows Bristol County House of Corrections inmates trash prison, police response

The Bristol County House of Corrections in Dartmouth absolutely trashed by inmates locked up there This happened in April NEWS has been fighting for nearly two years to obtain assurance camera video that shows what went down You can see a fiery garbage can hurled from a balcony toward correction officers The guards step back Then several inmates jump over the barricades separating them from officers and chaos ensues One inmate grabs a floor fan another lifts a dolly and they try to break the housing unit windows They cover their faces as they kick back doors throw around water toss papers making a total mess They try to cover their tracks by swinging at precaution cameras to break them and cover windows with blankets and cardboard Eventually they use everything they can gather to barricade themselves inside and away from officers Personnel say this began because the inmates refused to move to another unit NEWS cameras were allowed in after the disturbance to see the more than worth of damage This shield video shows members of the department of correction and law enforcement from across the state responding They initially open the door and throw in a flash bang To get into the unit they have to charge through the blockade the inmates created They are armed with long guns shields helmets batons and gas masks The inmates are pulled out one by one You can see the water pooled on the ground and officers checking every cell The inmates are then taken outside the jail and relocated More than a hundred inmates were involved several would eventually face charges
