Massechusetts Version of Maximum Security: Drunk Prisoners Take Over Cell Block at Cedar Junction Prison

The Boston Globe began this article with this very amusing paragraph:

OFFICIALS PROBE DISTURBANCE AT CEDAR JUNCTION PRISON
( Boston Globe Archives, 2005-04-20 )

Prison authorities are investigating how eight inmates, believed to be intoxicated on homemade brew, took control of their cell block in the state's maximum security prison, MCI-Cedar Junction, for several hours Monday night, officials said.

The rest of the article is a rambling attempt to say, "We had everything under control the entire time....nothing to worry about....although we have absolutely no idea how it happened....don't worry, be happy...."
