Ohio Civil Service Employees Association President Christopher Mabe says a new report shows lockups are unsafe.
MABE: "The corrections inspections committee this week came out with a report that the influence of security threat groups is on the rise with one in six inmates being affiliated to a prison gang. At the same time, violence in the prison has also risen in some key areas, particularly violence against staff. And that’s just not acceptable."
Mabe says prisons need millions of dollars more to hire more guards and provide services that make lockups safer.
