Jamestown, CA – Sierra Conservation Center (SCC) officials report nearly 150 inmates were involved in a “large-scale” uprising where some prisoners used handmade weapons to attack each other.

The riot began around 8 p.m. Tuesday, on the A-Facility main exercise yard, according to prison officials, who confirm no staff members were injured in the outbreak. However, two prisoners were flown to area hospitals, due to injuries they sustained.

Additionally, five were treated at local hospitals and are back behind bars.
