CHINO, Calif. -- A dozen California inmates in a barracks-style prison dormitory have been hurt in a brawl.

Officials say some Hispanic prisoners in Chino attacked white fellow inmates Friday. Guards used pepper spray and stopped the fighting within minutes at the California Institution for Men.

None of the injuries is life threatening.

The cause of the fight was not immediately known.

All prisoners had been confined to their dorms since Thursday, when a statewide prison lockdown was enacted after some guards were stabbed at another state prison.
