In the middle of an outbreak affecting one in five inmates, some took over a dorm for three hours, injuring two deputies.
Inmates at Multnomah County s Inverness Jail in Northeast Portland took over Dorm 11 for nearly three hours early Monday night, Feb. 8, even as authorities are fighting an outbreak that has resulted in one-fifth of the occupants of the 512-bed facility testing positive for COVID-19.
The confrontation, which inmates called a protest and deputies dubbed a riot, reportedly began shortly before midnight, Sunday night, Feb. 7 running past 2:30 a.m., Monday morning as inmates threw furniture at deputies. At least one inmate engaged in a struggle with deputies as the inmates took control of the dorm, a medical unit housing approximately 60 inmates.

For months, Multnomah County Sheriff Mike Reese s employees have told him and his managers he wasn t doing enough to fight COVID-19 in the jails he oversees.
Weeks after the outbreak at Inverness Jail in Northeast Portland began, Reese announced somewhat improved safeguards. But employee unions and inmate advocates say he still hasn t gone far enough.
Since the start of 2021, the outbreak has reached 109 inmates who have tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Reese spokesman Chris Liedle defended precautions at the jails and adds that the vast majority of the inmates who ve tested positive so far have not had major symptoms.
