Published April 7, 2021 at 3:50 PM CDT Listen KSDK Inmates at the St. Louis Justice Center gather around a third-floor window on Sunday. Inmates appeared to throw objects out of the windows and start a fire Since late December, five protests have erupted at the City Justice Center in downtown St. Louis. The latest came Sunday night, when a group of detainees broke windows on the third floor and threw objects to the streets below. Inmates could be heard chanting “We need help” and “We want court dates.” The number of people being incarcerated pre-trial in St. Louis, as well as the amount of time they spend waiting for trial, is one of the main focuses of a recent task force report looking into unrest at the jail. Commissioned after detainees seized control of a floor of the jail for hours on Feb. 6, the report contained 68 recommendations — 13 of them considered urgent.
