Former inmates will talk about bloody riots as 40th anniversary nears
By: Clem Richardson
NY Daily News - Forty years later, the Attica prison riot remains the bloodiest clash of its kind in American history. Twenty-nine inmates and a total of 10 guards and civilian employees were killed after Gov. Nelson Rockefeller ordered State Department of Correction guards and New York State troopers to storm the upstate New York facility to restore order on Sept. 13, 1971.
