I know nothing about this topic but I somehow doubt that the marines would have used "mortars", which produce relatively inaccurate plunging fire. Unless they were trying to reduce the building to rubble, that's not a good choice. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.129.71.68 ( talk) 02:37, 8 September 2012 (UTC)
The "Takeover" section says, " Coy thus managed to spread the bars and squeeze through the widened gap (Coy starved himself in order to fit through the space between the widened bars, which was still relatively narrow) into the temporarily vacant gallery and to overpower and bind Halsey on his return." Who the heck is "Halsey"? Is that supposed to be "Burch"? IAmNitpicking ( talk) 14:55, 2 August 2018 (UTC)
I had to find the plan of the cellhouse because I was under the impression there were 4 different buildings housing the inmates. Following the narrative with this plan, the series of events are simply less clear. And I am left with questions.
That section needs to be expanded to better explain what happened. -- llywrch ( talk) 18:17, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
One of the first statements is "Two Federal Bureau of Prisons officers—William A. Miller and Harold Stites—were killed (Miller by one of the inmates who attempted escape, Joseph Cretzer, and Stites by friendly fire)" The wording is confusing, as it seems to list 3 names for officers killed, but it was previously established that only two officers were killed.
Perhaps the wording in the brackets should read something like (Miller by Joseph Cretzer, one of the inmates who attempted escape, and Stites by friendly fire) 2601:CF:300:4B70:A4FA:D111:63EC:B22D ( talk) 21:01, 27 December 2021 (UTC)
