Oklahoma prison officials said Sept. 3 they imposed lockdowns at a pair of state prisons after two inmates were stabbed and several others were injured in a series of gang attacks that appeared coordinated.
Two inmates stabbed Sept. 2 were hospitalized briefly after fights erupted simultaneously in several housing units at Dick Connor Correctional Center in Hominy, said Jerry Massie, spokesman for the Oklahoma Department of Corrections. The inmates, whose names were not immediately released, did not suffer life-threatening wounds, and both returned to the facility Sept. 3.
Correctional officers sprayed tear gas to break up the fights, which involved about 16 inmates, said Ron Coliver, a spokesman for the Hominy prison.
