Hominy Prison In Day 4 Of Lockdown After Inmate Fight

A Northeastern Oklahoma prison is entering its fourth day on lockdown after several inmates were hurt during a fight.

Monday morning, the staff at the Dick Connor Correctional Center is investigating what led up to the fight Friday afternoon.

The Department of Corrections says five inmates were hurt when the fight broke out inside the prison's gym.

The medium-security prison immediately went on lockdown.

Right now, all inmate movement is still restricted and no visitors are allowed at the prison.

The DOC says says that's a customary safety precaution, so security staff can investigate what happened.

The inmates were treated for some minor injuries at the prison's infirmary. And no staff members were hurt.

A DOC spokesman says when the investigation is finished they'll hand it over to prosecutors to decide if any charges should be filed.
