Inmates hurt in California prison riot
Guards fired rounds to quell a major riot in the main yard of Folsom Prison on Friday.
Luis Patino, of the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, said three of the inmates have been taken to nearby hospitals.
There were no fatalities, he said, and no corrections officers were injured.
The riot began around 7:30 p.m. (10:30 p.m. ET).

Is this the same prison riot where they used/tested that military crowd control weapon that fires a beams of microwaves at people?
No, that's LA County jail. This is Old Folsom Prison.
Nonlethal rounds or real bullets?
Who cares?
Real bullets. This was a major riot involving up to 200 inmates per Sacbee website report.
The inmates were po'd when the found out that Johnny Cash had passed away, and wouldn't be coming back for another concert.
Well played sir...
-only three inmates taken hospital....guards need more practice!
You are a riot...lol. But just to let you and others know...what they teach in the academy is to communicate with inmates. If you thump inmates you get sued. Better to get beat down if you are a staff then to do the beating down on a convict. The correction's exec. staff can't stand to be in the newspapers. It is all about looks and perceptions of the public.
Give me your corn bread!
Should have "LASER'ed them.

Why not let them fight until they stop on their own. The more they kill each other, the less we as tax payers have to support them.
Mac ...you are one sick human being!
let them kill each other, one less parasite to worried about.
line them up, then we all americans should donate this morons to the taliban or the zetas then we could enjoy more of our hard working tax money
who cares
Your all dumb.
You're
something New?
losers get a life! commenting like morons ha
The corrections system is in shambles, we, the people need to fix it. Rioting is occuring more often while we spend more money on building prisons than we do on schools. Yet our crime is up. Something is wrong with that picture. Thank you Mr.Cash for bringing music to the inmates.
Your right California has 33! prisons while most states have 3. It is a money making industry with a society who turns a deaf ear! These people have made some bad choices...so how can we think that sticking them in cages with real career criminals murderers and rapist then let them out to figure things out..many people enter into prison for drug and non-violent crimes but come out only to go right back in the system on a minor parole violation.
