The Oregon State Correctional Institution returned to normal operations Tuesday after being on lockdown status for two days after a brawl involving 62 inmates in the prison's recreation yard. The Oregon Department of Corrections issued a statement Tuesday that outlined the disturbance at the Salem prison, which started at about 6:45 p.m. Saturday. One warning shot was fired by corrections staff, bringing an immediate end to the altercation. Wendy Hatfield, a spokeswoman for the prison, said the fight was between two groups of predominantly Hispanic inmates. There is a possibility the fight involved gangs, she said, but prison officials haven't yet pieced together what caused the fight. "We're generally a fairly calm institution," Hatfield said. The last large fight at the prison was in January, when roughly 30 inmates squared off. At about 8:35 p.m. on Saturday, several more fights broke out in a holding area for prisoners. In that incident, several inmates suffered minor injuries. One inmate was taken for treatment at Salem Hospital, where he was held overnight. He later was placed in a prison infirmary. Hatfield said she could not provide further comment on his medical condition. Read More. |
