ANAMOSA, Iowa (KWWL)- Iowa Democratic state and federal leaders are calling for a federal investigation into the deadly attack at the Anamosa State Penitentiary in March.
In a letter to US Attorney General Merrick Garland and US Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh, Rep. Cindy Axne, D-Iowa 3, Iowa House Minority Leader Todd Prichard, and Iowa Senate Minority Leader Zach Wahls called for an independent investigation. We want disinterested people to investigate and to understand what s going on so that the legislature can make informed decisions of what is needed to safeguard Iowans and people who work in our prison system, Rep. Prichard, D-Charles City said. What is behind that call is simply to make sure that we have an honest broker, and somebody who is getting to the bottom of what the problem is, and making sure that your prisons are safe for those that are work there.
