The Minnesota Correction Facility at Stillwater was put on emergency lockdown after around 100 inmates refused to return to their cells on Sunday, authorities say.
FOX 9 reported that a spokesperson described the situation as"peaceful." There were no injuries during the lockdown.
A corrections officers union claimed"chronic understaffing" was the reason for the lockdown, saying that Minnesota's prisons"cannot have transformational offender programming without sufficient facility security, we can and must have both."
