State officials have ordered additional tests on drinking water at a Minnesota prison to ensure that it's safe for staff and inmates.
The “additional and more comprehensive water testing” has been ordered at the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Stillwater “to assure staff and incarcerated individuals that the water is safe for drinking,” the Department of Corrections said in a statement released over the weekend.
Advocates said the inmate action was an impromptu response to unsafe conditions, including what they said was brown-colored drinking water, excessive heat, lack of air conditioning and limited access to showers and ice during on and off lockdowns over the past two months. In the statement released Saturday, the department said it is having bottled water brought in for staff and inmates while the agency awaits the testing results.
