Chino Prison Riot Hospitalizes 55 Inmates

 CBS 5 CrimeWatch

CHINO (CBS 5 / AP) ― The California Institution for Men in Chino remains on lockdown after a riot sent 55 prisoners to hospitals.

A prison switchboard operator says the lockdown Sunday will remain in effect "indefinitely."

Prison spokesman Lt. Mark Hargrove tells KTLA-TV 80 officers responded to the riot Saturday night, which involved some 1,300 inmates in seven barracks. The uprising lasted for about four hours. At least one unit caught fire.

More than 250 inmates suffered injuries ranging from stab wounds and slashes to head trauma. Some injuries were considered life-threatening.

No prison staff members were injured.
