Inmate Disturbance at Female Prison in Kaohsiung, Authorities Clarify Not a Riot, Corrections Bureau: Inspectors and Ethical Officers Sent to Investigate

Reported 9 months ago

Four inmates at Kaohsiung female prison caused a disturbance by refusing to cooperate with being relocated, hitting metal bowls and creating a commotion, leading to the use of pepper spray to stop the situation. The corrections bureau stated that the handling by prison staff was legal and appropriate, with inspectors and ethical officers sent to understand the situation. The family members accused male staff members of manhandling the inmates, but the prison denied claims of a riot, emphasizing that there was no improper response and the inmates were not exposed. The incident stemmed from the inmates' dissatisfaction with the transfer from Taipei prison to Kaohsiung, and investigations will determine if any rules were violated, with penalties if necessary.
