COLUMBUS, Ohio – The Ohio State men’s and women’s track and field teams returned to racing and competitive action this week at the Hoosier Hills Invitational in Bloomington, Ind., hosted by Indiana University. Each team put forth some formidable performances in the five-team event that included the Buckeyes, the host Hoosiers and teams from Michigan State, Purdue and Wisconsin.
Some highlights for the Ohio State women:
• One week after Allie Guagenti placed 5th in this state of Indiana to lead Ohio State at the Big Ten cross country championships, she returns to the state and wins the mile run in 4:51.53. Addie Engel and Daniella Santos were 3rd and 4th, respectively, in 4:56.90 and 4:59.32.

SANTA FE Rodents running around the kitchen, feces in food and their rotting bodies found inside food storage areas are just some of the conditions former inmates at the Western New Mexico Corrections Facility say they had to live with.
After receiving repeated reports about the alleged ongoing rodent infestation at the state women’s prison in Grants, the New Mexico Prison and Jail Project filed a lawsuit Monday in U.S. District Court.
The lawsuit, filed on behalf of Susie Zapata and Monica Garcia, who were both released from the prison in 2019, names the food provider at the prison, Summit Food Service, and other prison officials as defendants. The suit asks for monetary damages for Zapata and Garcia due to inhumane conditions of confinement and negligence.
New Mexico’s Top Prison Official: Ending Practice Of Contracting With Private Firms To Operate Jails Won’t Happen Anytime Soon

New Mexico’s top prison official said the state could eventually end its practice of contracting with private, for-profit firms to operate four of its 11 detention facilities, but the change won’t come anytime soon.
The comments Friday by Corrections Secretary Alisha Tafoya Lucero followed an executive order earlier this week by President Joe Biden, who said the U.S. Department of Justice must end its reliance on private operators for federal prisons.
Tafoya Lucero said she’s not philosophically opposed to the idea of getting rid of privately run prisons but she doesn’t favor the state taking such action now.
