Fifty-five inmates were taken to area hospitals with serious injuries, said Lt. Mark Hargrove, prison spokesman. None of the facility's employees was hurt in the melee, which broke out at about 8:20 p.m. Saturday at the Reception Center West facility, Hargrove said. The situation was under control by 7 a.m. Sunday, he said. The scene of the violence was the medium-security housing facility with seven units, each of which houses about 200 inmates, he said. Some 80 officers responded to the riot, during which a housing unit was heavily damaged by fire, he said. Guards used pepper spray, "less lethal force, and lethal force options" to regain control, Hargrove said in a written statement. The institution was placed on lockdown pending an investigation of the cause of the fighting, and visiting privileges were suspended. Aref Fakhoury, acting warden for the California Institution for Men, said police departments from the cities of Chino, Chino Hills and Ontario, and the Chino Valley Independent Fire District aided in quelling the violence. The inmates' injuries ranged from stab wounds and slashes to head trauma, Hargrove said. Some were considered life-threatening. Hargrove said inmates used "weapons of opportunity" such as broken glass during the riot. Images taken from the scene showed flames coming from the building as a helicopter hovered overhead. A similar riot broke out in December of 2006, Hargrove said.[/quote] [img]http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2009/US/08/09/california.prison.riot/art.prison.fire.newspro.jpg[/img] Crazy stuff, I remember watching this on the news last night as the prison was burning and stuff.

Lock it up and let the idiots burn

[QUOTE=InsanePyro;16593160]Lock it up and let the idiots burn[/QUOTE] Really guys?

Potato riots are serious business

Stupid druggies.

If I was an inmate in the middle of all of that, I would be so scared. I would close and lock my cell and hide under my bed. I mean, it's only a medium security prison. That kinda stuff only happens in maximum security prisons, right?

That's almost as much as my old school had students, holy shit.

It took them 11 hours to stop it? Holy shit.

[QUOTE=InsanePyro;16593160]Lock it up and let the idiots burn[/QUOTE] Speaks the truth.

I got a ring in 'ere last night.
