"According to the wire service, the riot began about 3 p.m. in a medium security holding facility, and some prisoners had either given up or gone back to their cells by 9 p.m., said Randy Bowman, a spokesman for the Kansas Department of Corrections.
Though it is unclear what motivations prompted the riot, the disturbance comes amid the spread of the coronavirus. Prisons have been identified as potential hotbeds for outbreaks for the disease, because inmates live in close, confined quarters.
The Lansing facility has come under scrutiny in the past month as the corrections department reported 14 staff and 12 inmates tested positive for COVID-19. "
