making patrol rounds." all that said, there was at least one other major incident at this prison, about 12 1/2 years ago. in july 2004, an inmate armed with a shank kidnapped and took a 27-year-old female prison counselor hostage. inmates forced that counselor into an office barricaded the doors and sexually assaulted her. some seven hours later, the inmate was shot and killed by law enforcement but that incident led to heavy criticism of the department by the victim. and for thorough reviews of the facility's security. now, the current warden down there at vaughan knows delaware systems well. david pierce was actually installed into that post about 3 1/2 years ago. but he began his work in the state in the mid1990s as a corrections officer himself. he had been working there at vaughan for about ten years

going to take a while longer to get in here. we'll see when it warms up, and it's going to warm up even more than today, coming up next week. here's a look at some of the other stories we're following, county by county at 4:00, in delaware county a teacher is accused of sexually assaulting a student on school property and local parks and her home. nina scott was a teacher in radnor township. police say she carried out a relationship with a girl for nearly six months. and new protection to make sure opiates are provided safely under expanded prescriptions. the new rules take in effect april 1st. in camden county, families are thinking about next school year. today enrollment opens for 38 public schools across the city. the camden school system is
