Full-scale riot in Indiana prison


From the Boston Globe:

A "full-scale riot" broke out Tuesday at a medium-security men's prison, according to the mayor, and pictures taken from television helicopters showed at least two fires burning in the courtyard.

Indiana Department of Correction spokeswoman Java Ahmed confirmed there was a disturbance at the New Castle Correctional Facility, about 43 miles east of Indianapolis.

According to Ahmed, more than one cell house was involved, and two staff members were injured.
