Race riot put down at California state prison

Legal News Center

The California state correctional facility in Chino was under lockdown Sunday after prison authorities put down a major race riot that broke out Saturday morning reportedly setting blacks and Hispanic inmates against each other in one of the worst instances of prison rioting in the state in years. A California Corrections Department spokesperson said that guards had to use everything from tear gas to foam projectiles to quell the disturbance, a process which took hours. Over 50 people were treated for injuries. The spokesman said some 36 inmates with what he described as "unacceptable housing situations" were being considered for transfer.
