Inmates at no-smoking prison trade hostage for cigarettes

In a smoke free prison two inmates living there swapped a hostage for a box of cigarettes during a 6 hour stand off.
The two prisoners names were Billy Grubb, age 32 and Bradley Johnson, age 25. On Monday night a guard was attacked by Billy and Bradley explained Howard Carlton the warden of the north east correctional complex.
The guard was then held hostage and the two prisoners advised the guard to give them some tobacco through out the night, in order to release him and leave back to their cell. After the guard gave up and gave them the tobacco they quickly smoked them and went back to their cell then locking them selves back in.
Later, investigations started as the police were stunned of how they got out of their prison cells and also their motive for attacking the guard. But now Both Grubb and Johnson are now imprisoned for murder.
A new laws are now trying to be passed through in the states saying prisons across the states are organizing no-smoking policies.
