After Jail Unrest, St Louis Task Force Chair Calls For New Urgency — And New Management

Published April 7, 2021 at 3:50 PM CDT Listen KSDK Inmates at the St. Louis Justice Center gather around a third-floor window on Sunday. Inmates appeared to throw objects out of the windows and start a fire Since late December, five protests have erupted at the City Justice Center in downtown St. Louis. The latest came Sunday night, when a group of detainees broke windows on the third floor and threw objects to the streets below.

The big question was whether that coalition would hold if Alderwoman Cara Spencer got big margins in southwestern and central corridor wards.
