Oklahoma Prison On Lockdown After 7 Inmates Injured In Fight

An Oklahoma prison is under lockdown after a fight broke out.

Seven inmates were injured in a fight at the North Fork Corrections Center.

The incident took place about 5:10 p.m. Sunday in a housing unit. Four inmates were taken to local hospitals for treatment and all are expected to survive.

No staff were injured in the incident.

The prison will be under lockdown while authorities investigate what led up to the fight. It will be locked down at least until Thursday, Aug. 9.

Visitation is canceled at North Fork Correctional Center in Sayre until Thursday. ODOC will assess later this week whether visitation will take place this Thursday, Aug. 6.
