Vaughn prison riot timeline, from the siege to charges being dropped

The News Journal

Delaware was rocked early Feb. 1, 2017, when news broke that hostages had been taken and a riot was in progress at James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in Smyrna. 

Inmates in Vaughn's C Building used coordinated violence to subdue the building's three correctional officers in closets. A counselor was also taken hostage and freed once police broke the standoff 18 hours later.

Two off the officers were released after being beaten and traumatized. The other, Steven Floyd, bled to death during the hostage negotiation. 

Here's how the riot unfolded, and everything that's happened since.
