Local and national media reported that three security incidents took place at the El Dorado Correctional Facility in May and June 2017. The May 9 incident appears to have been a spontaneous protest, the June 24 incident began as a conflict between two gangs and expanded because several doors were not properly secured, and the June 29 incident started in response to a sudden change in the inmates’ shower schedule. Most inmates did not participate in these incidents, and our review of the available evidence confirmed the department’s reports of minimal injuries and property damage. Finally, department officials told us they intentionally allow inmates to maintain control within confined areas of a facility during security incidents as part of their response strategy to reduce the likelihood of injuries and property damage.
