Electrical power was finally restored at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn at about 6:30 p.m. Sunday, Hornbuckle said. "With the heat and hot water operational, and the restoration of electrical power, the facility can now begin to return to regular operations," Hornbuckle said. Earlier Sunday, some demonstrators attempted to enter the facility, and guards drove them back with pushes and shoves. The woman, Yvonne Murchison, was crying and upset and tried to get into the facility, where visits have been stopped. The Bureau of Prisons has acknowledged that the jail "experienced a partial power outage due to a fire in the switch gear room."
