Montgomery The Committee was told that in addition to the building damage, overtime for the prison staff will amount to more than $500,000 this year, and that food, medical and other costs also have gone up. Warden Hoyt Cupp said part of the overtime cost comes with creation of a riot squad that is on duty from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m.

That would leave about 200 men idle. Cupp said in the months after that he hopes to devise ways to eliminate idleness and also to develop more challenging activities for many of the prisoners. He said he feels part of the problems leading to the riot developed because the younger prisoners were bored and restless. He said 50 per cent of the prisoners were 30 years of age or younger.
