LUCASVILLE, Ohio (AP) -- Military trucks and armed authorities were moving
into position Thursday at a maximum-security prison where prison guards have
been held hostage for five days. One hostage was found dead Thursday.
Six military trucks headed for the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility
cellblock, where the prisoners have barricaded themselves. Five of them were
carrying armed troops. Contents of the sixth truck, which was covered, could not
be seen. Sixteen military personnel vehicles also entered the compound.
The standoff began Sunday when a scuffle among prisoners escalated into a
riot.
