    Riot at Holman Prison, Warden Stabbed.

    Riot erupts at Atmore Prison, warden stabbed

    ATMORE, Ala. (WPMI) - The Holman Prison in Atmore is on lockdown after an apparent riot.

    According to Bob Horton with the Alabama Department of Corrections, multiple prisoners assaulted and stabbed a correctional officer and the prison warden overnight.

    Horton tells LOCAL 15 that the first assault happened at approximately 9:15 p.m. Friday, when the correctional officer responded to a fight between inmates in one of the prison dorms.

    "The officer was stabbed when he tried to detain one of the inmates involved in the fight," stated Horton. The injured officer was transported to an "offsite medical facility" and was treated for non-life-threatening injuries.

    Horten says that Warden Carter Davenport accompanied by other officers entered the dorm to access the situation, when he was stabbed. Davenport was treated on-site for his non-life-threatening injuries. No other officers were injured during the incident.

    After the initial assault, inmates were able to gain access to a hallway just outside the housing unit and started a fire. Some of the inmates were able to publish photos and video of the riot. A video allegedly shows the rioting inside the Atmore prison.

    Horton says corrections officers and the CERT teams are conducting a complete search of the prison for illegal cell phones and other contraband.

    "In response to the situation, the Alabama Department of Corrections deployed three Correctional emergency Response Teams to the prison. The CERT teams were able to successfully enter the dorm, detain the inmates, and secure the area," stated Horton.

    An estimated 100 inmates were involved in the riot. Those involved have been segregated from the prison's general population.

    Criminal charges are pending against the inmates who were involved in the incident.

    The prison is secured and will remain on lockdown until ADOC completes its investigation.

    Here is some video of the riot. Warning very harsh language.

Punishing somehow seems unfair to it, and it is certain that imagining ‘punishment’ and ‘being supposed to punish’ hurts it, arouses fear in it." Friedrich Nietzsche

    There was an uprising overnight at Holman Correctional Facility in Atmore that has now ended with the stabbing of a corrections officer and the warden. The situation is now under control.

    Videos and photos posted to social media from inmates show fires burning inside a dorm control area an inmates roaming a general population dorm area freely with their faces covered, some with large pieces of metal being held as weapons.

    “Attention: We need yall help here at Holman Correction Facility Prison. The police down here beating on and jus treating us any kind way. We down here fighting for are lifes. Please contact the News, Newspaper, Radio station. NCAAP. Help please,” stated one Facebook post.

    According to the Alabama Department of Corrections, the first assault happened at approximately 9:15 p.m. Friday, when the correctional officer responded to a fight between two inmates in one of the prison dorms. The officer was stabbed when he tried to detain one of the inmates involved in the fight. He was reportedly stabbed as many as nine times, sources tell NorthEscambia.com.

    When Warden Carter Davenport and other officers entered the dorm to assess the situation, Davenport was stabbed. Davenport remained at the prison and was treated on-site for his injuries. The injured officer was transported to an offsite medical facility. Davenport and the officer’s injuries are reported as non-life threating. No other officers were injured.

    After the assaults, inmates gained access to a hallway just outside the housing unit and started a fire. In response to the situation, the Alabama Department of Corrections deployed three Correctional Emergency Response Teams (CERT) to the prison. The CERT teams were able to successfully enter the dorm about 5:00 a.m., detain the inmates, and secure the area. It is estimated that approximately 100 inmates were involved in the disturbance.

    The uprising was limited to a single dormitory style open housing unit, and there were no issues in the remainder of the prison, our source said. Death row and other highly secured inmates remained quiet during the night.

    The Department of Corrections acknowledged that some inmates inside the prison were able to publish photos of the disturbance using social media. Corrections officers and the CERT teams are conducting a complete search of the prison for illegal cell phones and other contraband.

    The inmates who were responsible for assaulting the officer and warden, and other inmates involved in the disturbance, have been segregated from the prison’s general population. Investigators from the ADOC Investigations and Intelligence Division are on site at the prison to assist the CERT teams and to conduct a thorough investigation into the disturbance.

    Criminal charges are pending against the inmates who were involved in the incident.

    The prison is secured and will remain on lockdown until ADOC completes its investigation.

    Prisoners and their cell phones. They never think that possession and use of them will come back to haunt them and their enablers on the outside.
