Was just telling my brother we had no idea what was going on and expected 2,000 inmates to be running down the street any moment to kill us all.
row_33 Posted February 17, 2018 Posted February 17, 2018 Thanks Chef It was a great time for the media as they were allowed to roam around Nam and report uncensored, and prison riot was granted full negotiating rights with the TV cameras rolling the whole time

I was in grade school in Batavia & two classmate’s fathers were killed during the riot. Extremely tough time for them & their families & difficult time for kids at the school.
