State health officials have said that the drinking water at a Minnesota prison is safe after inmate and advocate concerns over the water’s quality prompted a new round of tests
FILE - The Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater prison is seen, Dec. 15, 2020, in Bayport, Minn. Minnesota state officials have ordered additional tests on drinking water at the prison after concerns about the water's quality and other issues were raised when dozens of inmates refused to return to their cells during a heat wave on Sunday, Sept. 3, 2023.
The case in Minnesota is one of many across the country where concerns have been raised about water quality at prisons endangering the health of people who are incarcerated, along with persistent understaffing, curtailed family visitations and rehabilitation programs, and the spread of diseases, including COVID.
The prison houses about 1,200 inmates in total, according to department records. It was built in 1914.
