Entering St. Louis' downtown jail the day after an Easter Sunday uprising meant passing beneath burn marks and freshly shattered glass. But during a press conference in the St. Louis Justice Center, the city's top jail official had few solid answers.
Even the basics are in question. St. Louis commissioner of corrections Dale Glass noted that "the first thing" inmates did in Sunday's uprising was to "cut the cameras." It's not clear just how many inmates were involved.
