CLALLAM BAY — An inmate serving a life sentence at the Clallam Bay Corrections Center has been taken to a Seattle hospital after a fight with another inmate, said Jeremy S. Barclay, state Department of Corrections communications director.

“It was an inmate-on-inmate fight, and [corrections officers] contacted local law enforcement” at 5:34 p.m. Friday to report it, Barclay said Saturday afternoon.

The prison was not placed on lockdown during or following the incident, Barclay said.

Blake Pirtle, 47, was transported to Harborview Medical Center in Seattle for medical observation and remained there Saturday, Barclay said.

“He is at Harborview under the custody of the Department of Corrections,” Barclay said.
