It’s been three months since the inmate uprising at the James T. Vaughn Correctional Center in which one officer was killed.

And there have still been no charges filed in connection with the death of Officer Stephen Floyd.

During the 18 hour standoff Floyd and two other officers were taken hostage.

Geoff Klopp, president the Correctional Officers Association of Delaware, told WBOC that he was disappointed that no charges have been filed in the Floyd case.

Meanwhile, a class action suit has been filed by inmates alleging mistreatment by law enforcement and prison staff after the hostage standoff.
