The sad thing is men didn’t have a chance to get out because the guards ran for their lives and they had the keys for the doors to unlock them.
What makes it worse one or more prisoners were either smoking or burning their beds and the building is made of wood so it started burning and didn’t stop burning and that makes it even worse.
MAY GOD GIVE THE PRISONERS AND THEIR FAMILIES THE STRENGTH TO GO THROUGH THIS REALLY TOUGH TIME NOW AND FOR ALL TIME AS I AM SURE HE WILL!!!
This is a horrible thing that happened. I can not think of a worst death, than burning to death or dying from smoke and not being able to breath.
