A heavy hand descends on USP Marion.

A heavy hand descends on USP Marion. In the aftermath of the murder of two guards and one inmate in a very short period of time the BOP reacts. The prisoners at the time claim to have been beaten, personal property taken and other acts of revenge. I give one prisoner's view and my comments. Keep in mind I was not there yet. This opinion is my personal experiences at the same prison, with some of the same prisoners. This was the only level 6, Federal Supermax prison at the time of these events. Many prisoners had been murdered leading up to the killings of the guards. A race war was in full swing between the DC Blacks and the Aryan Brotherhood. This is a story about the response the guards, administration of the prisons and the leadership of the Federal Bureau Of Prisons had to the seemingly out of control "end of the line" prison in 1983.
