AP Exclusive: Survivor blames officials for prison riot
HOCKESSIN, Del. — Patricia May had a feeling of dread when she reported to work at Delaware’s maximum-security prison last year.
For months, May had been concerned about her safety after being assigned to C Building at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna in late 2016.
As she walked to her office on Feb. 1, 2017, the veteran Department of Correction counsellor voiced her concerns to a colleague.
“I was expressing my apprehension, my anguish, my anger, my concern,” May told The Associated Press on Friday, in her first public interview since last year’s deadly prison riot . “I thought I was going to get killed in there.”
