SCRANTON -- After a week-long lockdown, the Lackawanna County prison will allow visitors again starting Sunday.

The lockdown came after an inmate at the prison tested positive for a contagious disease.

In the days that followed, each inmate was tested for tuberculosis.

Officials say those tests came back negative.

The prison went back to normal operations Saturday and will allow inmate visits starting Sunday morning.
