Prison riot

A prison riot is an act of concerted defiance or disorder by a group of prisoners against the prison administrators, prison officers, or other groups of prisoners.

Academic studies of prison riots emphasize a connection between prison conditions (such as prison overcrowding) and riots,^[1]^[2]^[3] or discuss the dynamics of the modern prison riot.^[4]^[5] In addition, a large proportion of academic studies concentrate on specific cases of prison riots.^[6]^[7]^[8] Other recent research analyzes and examines prison strikes and reports of contention with inmate workers.^[9]
