The Introduction In 1971, 1,300 prisoners rebelled against their guards and took over the Attica Prison facility in Western New York State. They held forty guards hostage. They had a list of demands for better living conditions including showers, education and vocational training. After seven days of negotiations between the prisoners and government authorities, the national guard and state police seized the prison, killing forty-three people, incuding ten hostages. The Medical Examiner's reports contradicted the statements of prison officials regarding the alleged atrocities committed against hostages. Autopsies revealed that hostages did not die from having their throats slashed by their captors, as had first been suggested by prison officials, but from the troops' deadly fire.
