Prison OffensesElements18 U.S.C. § 1792
--
"Participation"
|
Section 1792 of Title 18 prohibits instigating, willfully
attempting
to cause, assisting or conspiring to cause a mutiny or riot. Participation
in
a federal prison riot constitutes assisting and willfully attempting to
cause
such a riot. See United States v. Farries, 459 F.2d 1057 (3d
Cir.
1972), cert. denied, 410 U.S. 912 (1973). Thus, mere participation
is
prohibited and punishable as a crime. United States v. Bryant, 563
F.2d
1227 (5th Cir. 1977), cert. denied, 435 U.S. 972 (1978).
