Prison disturbances: cases in which inmates rise up and destroy prison properties, but don"t take hostages, fairly common, involves only a handful of inmates, end very quickly (few hours) Kingston riot: in 1932 = peaceful, no property destroyed (disturbance), but in 1971 with two patterns = violent (taking hostages), and destruction of property. Attica: inmates running about, acting like pranksters, personal safety as major concern (lots want to report the riot to the authorities) Start of riot: no leadership for first few hrs, only in kingston that there were leaderships. People from here are concerned of their status, make sure hostages are safe.
