Inmates at the St. Louis City Justice Center took over two units in the jail on February 6. Editor's note: After our original story published on February 6, we continued to report as we prepared for the Riverfront Times print issue. We updated this post on February 10 with that greatly expanded version of the story. More than 100 inmates at the St. Louis City Justice Center took over two units of the jail early Saturday morning, shattering fourth-floor windows and setting small fires as they called out jubilantly to a crowd of supporters who gathered on the street below. The uprising began about 2:30 a.m., and detainees held control of the units for more than six hours before jail staff, bolstered by city sheriff's deputies and police, regained custody.
