Hutchinson Correctional Facility – Central Unit has been placed on lockdown with limited movement due to an inmate disturbance at the facility on Tuesday, February 4, 2020, which resulted in the battery of five correctional officers. The inmates identified in being involved in the disturbance have been placed in Restrictive Housing under investigation. The five officers that were battered, have been treated for their injuries.
Due to this, weekend visitation will be cancelled for the Central Unit only, beginning February 8, 2020.
The correctional facility is taking the proactive measure of suspending visitation privileges for the safety and security of staff and inmates. Warden Schnurr said the facility will reevaluate its ability to resume its normal visitation schedule early next week.
Visitation at Hutchinson Correctional Facility, East and South Unit will proceed as normal.
