犹他州监狱系统全面解除封锁:两所监狱恢复正常运行

犹他州盐湖县盐湖城市消息:犹他州惩教厅 10 月 29 日宣布,该州两所监狱的封锁已全面解除,正常运行得到恢复,相关消息于 10 月 30 日更新。
这两所监狱分别位于犹他州盐湖县盐湖城市与甘尼森市,其中甘尼森市为中犹他惩教设施。封锁自 9 月 24 日起实施,起因是一名囚犯据报袭击了中犹他惩教设施的一名官员,此后两所监狱进入封锁状态,持续一个多月。封锁期间,惩教厅在 10 月大部分时间里随着调查推进,逐步在部分监区局部解除封锁。全面解除后恢复的项目包括日常管理项目、探视、娱乐、教育与宗教服务。
惩教厅长贾里德·加西亚在声明中确认了全面解封,但声明未披露引发封锁的袭击事件的调查结果,也未说明据报遇袭官员目前的状况。监狱封锁是惩教机构在安全事件后常用的管控手段,长时间封锁会对囚犯的探视、教育与宗教活动造成影响,也牵动家属的关注。此次全面解封意味着两所监狱的日常秩序恢复正常,但围绕最初袭击事件的调查细节仍未公开。

Utah: Utah Prison System Fully Lifts Lockdown on Oct. 29; Both Prisons Resume Normal Operations
Salt Lake City, Salt Lake County, Utah — The Utah Department of Corrections announced on Oct. 29 that the lockdown at the state's two prisons has been fully lifted and normal operations restored, according to reporting updated Oct. 30.
The two facilities are in Salt Lake City, in Salt Lake County, and in Gunnison, home to the Central Utah Correctional Facility. The lockdown had been in place since Sept. 24, after an inmate reportedly attacked an officer at the Central Utah facility, and lasted more than a month; both prisons were locked down. During October, as the investigation proceeded, the department gradually lifted the lockdown in selected housing units. With the full lifting, restored activities include regular programming, visitation, recreation, education and religious services.
Corrections Commissioner Jared Garcia confirmed the full lifting in a statement, which did not disclose the findings of the investigation into the attack that triggered the lockdown or the current condition of the officer who was reportedly assaulted. Prison lockdowns are a standard control measure after security incidents; a prolonged lockdown affects inmates' visitation, education and religious activities and weighs on their families. The full lifting means daily order at both prisons has returned to normal, though details of the original attack investigation remain undisclosed.
