Several of Arizona’s prisons closed due to uptick in inmate violence incidents

Visitations at many of Arizona’s prisons are closed, while other limitations are in place due to an uptick in inmate violence at several locations. On Friday, officials with the Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry (ADCRR) announced actions being taken to “protect staff and inmates, while reducing, curtailing, and discouraging violence within the inmate population.” ABC15 previously reported on the killings of three inmates at the Tucson prison by fellow inmate Ricky Wassenaar on April 4.
