Survivor: Behind bars

Article Abstract:

The sprint routine every year when the U.S. O ffice of Law Enforcement Technology Commercialization brings together tech vendors and correction officers for a mock prison riot at a decommissioned, civil war-era maximum security in West Virginia is discussed. The role of the prisoners are played by officers and criminal justice students take hostages, stage protests and riots and do their best to rattle the guards' nerves.
