Statement on tragic deaths at the Anamosa State Penitentiary

Statement by Sen. Todd Taylor, Ranking Member of the Justice System Appropriations Subcommittee

β€œThe death of two prison employees at the Anamosa State Penitentiary is a horrible tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with their families, neighbors and co-workers. In addition to ensuring that justice is served, we must also ensure that state leaders address chronic understaffing and other systemic problems at our prisons before we have more deaths.”
