The incident happened Tuesday. An internal email shows Acting Corrections Commissioner Jeff Carson launched an investigation Author: Christine Byers (KSDK) Updated: 6:00 PM CDT July 28, 2021 ST. LOUIS — Detainees once again left their cells at the City Justice Center Tuesday and damaged the facility. It’s the fourth time in less than a year inmates have let themselves out of their cells and damaged the downtown jail. According to documents obtained by the I-Team, several inmates will be charged with “destruction of property including a microwave, computer monitors, throwing trash and other destruction.” Carson ordered inmates in one section to be locked down until the investigation into the damage concludes, and other detainees will be able to get their recreation time in restraints, one or two at a time for one hour per day, according to the documents.
