"The 1971 uprising at this correctional facility saw incarcerated people briefly seize parts of the prison and present officials with demands that included requests for “a healthy diet” and “some fresh fruit daily”; the revolt was quashed after four days in a violent retaking that left 39 people dead." - Andrew Urevig
