two prisoners were ultimately treated for minor injuries. so far officials in kansasve not been able to confirm what caused that disturbance at the prison, but that young man, that prisoner you just heard from talking to the local news station, kshb, he called in to say that what prisoners were angry about was the handling of coronavirus cases at that prison. so far 12 prisoners and 16 staff members have tested positive for coronavirus and prisoners are reportedly upset about how it's being handled and the fact they don't feel like they can protect themselves from getting infected. it's also worth noting the cellblock where that uprising took place is just a few hundred yards from the infirmary where people who are sick with the virus are being held and treated. kansas' governor laura kelly said today that the investigation into what caused that disturbance is ongoing. she said she would promise transparency into the state's handling of the matter. but this of course comes at a time when governor kelly already has her hands full, including in some ways she probably sh
