FILE - In this Friday, July 28, 2017 file photo, Kansas Corrections Secretary Joe Norwood answers questions about recent disturbances at a maximum-security state prison in Topeka, Kan. A staffing shortage constitutes an emergency at a Kansas maximum-security lockup in El Dorado, Kan., that has seen several recent inmate disturbances, requiring mandatory overtime and shifts as long as 16 hours, the state's prisons chief said. Norwood made that pronouncement Tuesday, Aug. 1, 2017, in a letter to an employee union in rejecting a grievance over long hours at the El Dorado Correctional Facility. (AP Photo/John Hanna)
