The Southport Correctional Facility is an ultra-maximum-security, or "supermax", prison, run by the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. It is located in the town of Southport, in Central New York State, USA. It is rare for a prisoner to be sent directly to Southport from the outside; virtually all of its inmates have been transferred there after committing serious disciplinary infractions at some other prison in the state. On occasion, however, a particularly notorious inmate may be sent there for "protective custody"; that is to say, to prevent him from being attacked by other inmates. One example was convicted child-killer Joel Steinberg. == History == The prison opened on October 11, 1988. ==Incidents== Southport became the scene of a riot on June 26, 1990, when fighting broke out among a group of approximately 250 inmates, eight of whom were injured in the melee, along with 19 members of the prison's staff. Another incident, this one involving the taking of four employees as hostages, followed on May 28, 1991. Prisoners and correctional officers injured that day received care at nearby Arnot-Ogden Memorial Hospital and St. Joseph's Hospital in Elmira, NY. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Southport Correctional Facility」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
