Delaware is still reeling from the hostage standoff at the James T. Vaughn Correction Center that left one guard dead. Governor John Carney has promised an independent review and a prison reform group has called for an investigation by the U.S. Justice Department. Delmarva Public Radio's Don Rush spoke with Rev. Dr. Christopher Bullock, chair of the Coalition for Prison Reform and Justice, about the incident and the conditions in the Delaware prison system.
