		Prisons were seeing a surge in the pressure —- both from within and from without prison walls -- to recognize the rights of inmates, fueled in part by racial unrest.
		By the time the state police was summoned and managed to recapture part of the facility that afternoon, the inmates had regrouped in one of the yards and were holding 40 hostages in a ring of wooden benches.
		Their demands were soon made public: federal takeover of the prison, better conditions, amnesty for the crimes committed during the revolt and the removal of the prison’s superintendent.
