“I am proud of the women and men of the Fulton County Sheriff’s Office for their dedication and ability to maintain order under challenging circumstances,” Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labat said in a statement. “The safety and security of the detainees in our care and custody is a top priority.”

The prisoner accused of setting the fire was charged with arson and damage to jail property.
