Numerous reports of locks not working at the Lewis Prison Complex where there was also a hostage situation few years prior https://www.azcentral.com/story/news/local/southwest-valley-breaking/2018/12/26/arizona-state-prison-complex-lewis-inmate-takes-employee-hostage/2415676002/
2006 , now a video leaked by their own sergeant reveals inmates setting fires. https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/renewed-pressure-on-governor-ducey-to-take-action-on-prison-director The video has been leaked because it was discovered Department of Corrections was making a attempt to cover up the security issues.
Guards were told to not intervene and stop the inmates. Guards were present and watched the inmates as the fires were lit. This is just a series of issues that have plagued Arizona Department of Corrections. AZDOC has also just recently let go the healthcare provider Corizon due to lack of care and not providing proper treatment to inmates.
The latest leak of video has now prompted two AZDOC officials to resign. https://www.abc15.com/news/local-news/investigations/two-top-arizona-department-of-corrections-officials-plan-to-retire-at-the-end-of-the-month But should the resignations not stop with these two. Many are saying Director of Arizona Department of Corrections Charles Ryan should resign as well. The two officials are being allowed to retire.
