GUNNISON, Utah, Aug. 8, 2019 (Gephardt Daily) — The Utah Department of Corrections has announced that all visiting at the Central Utah Correctional Facility in Gunnison has been cancelled for Thursday, August 8.
The facility is on lockdown because a staff member was assaulted by an offender on Wednesday morning. No offenders were harmed or injured, however.
“We share this update regarding our CUCF facility specifically with families and other visitors in mind. It is our purpose to help ensure visitors don’t make the trip all the way to Gunnison just to be turned away,” the DOC statement said.
