Deprivation and Discontent?

If deprivation and discontent were alone responsible for the New Mexico State Penitentiary Riot, then we should expect the same results from monks in a monastery who equally deprived and discontented. Both the riot and the savagery was caused by one factor... the nature of the beasts locked inside the prison. The same thing occurs in any prison where the inmates can gain an upper hand. It is wrong to seek blame in the administration of the prison and to say that if officials had been accomodating enough that the riot would have never occured.

Officials should not have waited 36 hours before entering to regain control. That they did is due to the same restraints placed on them by the very system that blames them for the riot in the first place.
