Power Line Failure Causes Kentucky Prison Blackout
From United Press International
LA GRANGE, Ky. — A high-voltage power line failure caused a blackout at the Kentucky State Reformatory, forcing officials to put the state’s largest prison on lock-down status, authorities said.
No one was reported injured in the blackout Saturday. Power was later restored to most inmate dormitories, but appliances and equipment requiring 220-volt power still could not be used, authorities said.
