WALLA WALLA, Wash. (AP) — Authorities say four correctional officers have been treated for minor injuries after trying to break up an inmate fight at the Washington State Penitentiary.
KONA Radio reports two units in the prison at Walla Walla are still locked down Monday morning following an inmate fight on Sunday.
Department of Corrections spokeswoman Shari Hall says the units were locked after a fight broke out and eventually involved about 40 inmates.
The fight occurred in the entry area of one of the units as inmates were returning from an outdoor recreation period. A nearby unit was also locked down as a precaution.
