Prison officials say the prison remains under lockdown and an investigation into the fight will be completed today or Wednesday.
Spokesman Monte Michaelson says charges will be filed against those who started the fight.
Two inmates remain hospitalized with injuries suffered in the fight.
Michaelson says about 240 inmates were in the yard and 52 were treated for minor cuts and abrasions.
The prison houses inmates from Arizona and Hawaii and Michaelson says all involved in the fight are from Arizona.
