Sheriff Baca: Deadly Prison Riot Was Race-Related
(CBS) CASTAIC, Calif. The Los Angeles County jail system is locked down this hour after a race riot in Castaic killed one inmate and injured more than 100.
Sheriff Lee Baca says brawling between black and Hispanic prisoners at the North County Correctional Facility this afternoon was broken up with tear gas and stingball grenades.
No guards were hurt but before the rioting ended a 45-year-old black inmate was dead.
More than 100 other inmates were hurt, including 20 that were hospitalized with serious injuries.
Baca said in response to the riot, he ordered a security lockdown for all 21,000 prisoners in the nation's largest jail system.
He also ordered black and Latino inmates to be segregated.
A sheriff's spokesman says about 2,000 inmates were involved in the brawling, which stemmed from a feud between black and Hispanic gangs.
Steve Suzuki says racial tensions were high because a black gang member had stabbed a Latino gangster two days ago at the Men's Central Jail in Los Angeles.Support our FIGHT AGAINST illegal immigration & Amnesty by joining our E-mail Alerts at http://eepurl.com/cktGTn
