Inmates, workers in the prison’s factories who had worked all week, peacefully refused to go back to their cells after not getting showers or rec. Although it’s unknown what led to the inmates choosing to go back into their cells later in the day, two inmates were sent to segregation after refusing; at least one was reportedly written up for riot. During the incident, which started Sunday morning, no officers were hurt or taken hostage and they were free to move around.

NEW: Civil Disobedience Inside Minnesota’s Stillwater Prison
In the midst of a near-record heat-streak, around 100 people incarcerated in Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater staged an act of civil disobedience by refusing to go back to their cells for a staff-induced lockdown on Sept. 3. Men housed in B East expressed grievances over no air conditioning, no clean or cold water, and whole units intentionally being locked down with no recreation time nor showers.

UPDATE: Audio of a phone call from an unnamed inmate in Stillwater recorded by @tciwoc
on Sept. 7 provides updates from Stillwater's B East. The inmate said three people in the unit were now charged with “kidnapping” and “threatening staff” and that 30 others were sent to segregation as a consequence for their participation in Sunday’s protest.
