A mass protest outside the Southern State Correctional Facility on Friday caused a lock down, reports WCAX.
A large group of unannounced protesters arrived outside the facility on Friday, and their chants caused a disturbance among the prisoners inside. A specialized response team had to be brought in to de-escalate the situation, which resulted in minimal damage but no injuries.
The protesters took all signs supporting officers that had been placed earlier in the week.
