BISHOPVILLE, SC (WIS) –An inmate at Lee Correctional Institution gave several reasons why he believes violent incidents like Sunday’s events which left seven dead and 17 more inmates injured occur.

“There’s nothing here for us to do,” the inmate said. “There’s no educational programs, the legislators — they’re sitting around here and their thinking that locking ‘em up and throwing away the key is the answer — but it’s not the answer because there isn’t anything for anybody to do except for sit around and find something stupid to do. They’re trying to say it’s about contraband, it’s not about contraband, it’s about territory – it’s about rival gang members going at each other. They always want to bring up the cell phones and the contraband, there’s other contraband in here besides cell phones — there’s drugs, there’s cigarettes.”
