Pennsylvania 400 in delay due to fog

<p>I read that the state will not release the inspection records of the Luzerne County prison&#8217;s elevator.</p><p>Now the county will not release the videotape, rubber-stamped &#8220;security reasons.&#8221; The rationale is ludicrous. What would prevent an inmate from noticing where cameras are located and relaying that information to someone on the outside?</p><p>The corrections officer&#8217;s death was ruled a homicide. Why? Several reasons, I presume, such as the guard&#8217;s family probably gets double on the insurance. The inmate&#8217;s family cannot sue.</p><p>Who owns or holds stock in the elevator company? Who was the inspector?</p><p>To be ruled a homicide, did the inmate have prior knowledge the door would fail? Why not a ruling of murder-suicide?</p><p>An extra spin will be used to say a new prison is needed. Hope they don&#8217;t use the same elevator company.</p><p><strong>Anthony R.
