A nationwide lockdown was enacted on U.S. federal prisons after two inmates were killed and two injured in Texas. The incident was an act of gang violence at the USP Beaumont federal prison. The incident is being formally investigated.

Terrible violence has been plaguing U.S. prisons for years, with some incidents resulting in fatalities. Sexual assault and rape are also a serious problem in U.S. prisons, indicating they are not safe institutions. So many have been scarred by these issues.

I saw a video last year regarding an interview with an inmate who stated a fellow prison was once forcibly removed from his cell and anally rapped by 30-men, which is sick and abominable. Why is U.S. prison security so poor.
