Dick Conner Correctional Center is anOklahoma Department of Corrections state prison for men located north of the town ofHominy, Osage County, Oklahoma. The medium-security facility opened in 1979 with an original design capacity of 400, and is named for formerOklahoma State Penitentiary warden and Osage County sheriff R.B. "Dick" Conner.[2]
Conner was the site of a significantprison riot on August 29, 1983. A delay in an inmate count developed into a shift in the evening food service schedule, which in turn developed into food shortages. As inmates became more angry and belligerent, they defied an attempt to lock down the facility, then 400 to 500 prisoners started breaking windows, throwing rocks, and setting fires. By the time order was restored one inmate was dead from a bullet wound, two correctional officers had been injured, and $3 million in damage had been done.[3]
