Known costs of prison riot top $30 million and growing
DOVER — The immediate costs of the deadly inmate uprising at Vaughn prison last Feb. 1 were obvious: correctional officer Lt. Steven Floyd was murdered and six other hostages were gravely injured or otherwise traumatized.
The extent of the injuries to the survivors was indicated by Wilmington attorney Thomas Neuberger, who represented them and Lt. Floyd’s family in a lawsuit against the state.
“Medical care is ongoing for all the surviving hostages and they are worse off today than in February,” he has said.
“Their lives will forever be changed. Their injuries are permanent, and include: chronic post traumatic stress disorder, panic attacks, major depression, concussions, short and long term memory loss, nightmares, flashbacks, angry outbursts, social isolation and survivor’s guilt.”
