5. The United Riot
In 1993, three very unlikely alliances was formed to demonstrate a riot at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility in Lucasville between three separate prison gangs—the Aryan Brotherhood, the Sunni Muslims, and the Black Gangster Disciples. The tension arose when the prison authorities announced that the inmates were to be vaccinated for tuberculosis. The Sunnis cried for boycotting the vaccination as it was violating their religious beliefs. The riot began on April 11th and went on over a week until the authorities cut off the power and water facilities. At the end 5 inmates were sentenced to death for committing murder during the riot.
