Milwaukee, Wisconsin - On Wednesday, at least 27 Milwaukee County inmates were criminally charged with several misdemeanors for obstructing or resisting an officer, disorderly order with an added enhancer of party to a crime for each separate charge that involved an August 12 takeover of the jail library leading to a riot triggered by unacceptable treatment and conditions inside the jail.

According to the criminal complaint, the inmates managed to overpower jail corrections officers and took over the jail library and then barricaded themselves inside while making threats and demands. The inmates broke the fire sprinklers flooding the library.
