The Arizona Daily Star DOUGLAS, Ariz. — An apparently suicidal inmate took a corrections officer hostage Monday at the Arizona State Prison Complex at Douglas. The officer was released physically unharmed after about 30 minutes, and the inmate was restrained, said Bill Lamoreaux, a state Department of Corrections spokesman. The ordeal began when inmate Marcus A. Davis, 41, met with the officer, who was his case manager, in the Mohave Unit Programs Building shortly before 10 a.m., said Lamoreaux. Davis grabbed the officer and claimed to have a knife on the back of her neck. Davis told her he was doing a life sentence, his mother was dying of cancer and he had nothing to lose, Lamoreaux said.
