A US prison is undergoing emergency lock changes after the keys to some of
its doors appeared on
eBay.
Keys to the Anamosa State Penitentiary in Iowa were spotted on eBay by prison
guards. They came from a locksmith at the prison who retired in 1974 and died
two years later.
When his wife died last year the couple's possessions were sold off in an
estate sale, and the keys appeared on eBay.
"I checked eBay and they were listed," Jerry Burt, the prison's warden told
the San Francisco Gate. "We didn't know anything about the auction beforehand."
While many of the doors in the prison have had their locks changed since
1974, the authorities are worried that some may not have been changed.
A widescale lock replacement programme has now been initiated. "We did it as
a precaution," said Burt.
The medium security Anamosa State Penitentiary is home to about 1,250
inmates.
