The Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation and Reentry has implemented restrictions on several state prisons in response to a recent spike in inmate on inmate violence, which has resulted in several deaths. Units in Tucson and Yuma are among those impacted by the restrictions, with visitations being closed indefinitely. Director Ryan Thornell stated that these actions are necessary to ensure the personal safety of both staff and inmates. The department had previously announced that the units would be on lockdown with no visitation allowed through the Easter holiday. Thornell also acknowledged the concerns of families with loved ones incarcerated in these facilities. These measures are aimed at addressing the recent violence and maintaining a safe environment within the prison system.
