Additional employees at an Arkansas prison have been disciplined for not following procedures after a convicted murderer known as the “Devil in the Ozarks” escaped earlier this summer, a state prison system official told lawmakers Monday.
Arkansas Division of Correction Director Dexter Payne said several employees at the Calico Rock prison had been suspended and another demoted for allowing inmates to use an outdoor kitchen dock unsupervised. Payne did not specify how many employees had been suspended, and did not give their names.
