A "full-scale riot" broke out Tuesday at a medium-security men's prison, according to the mayor, and pictures taken from television helicopters showed at least two fires burning in the courtyard.

I live here in Indiana, and just turned on the TV. Scary stuff. A lot of controversary right now anyway in Indiana and the prison system. Seems that our "wonderful" governor decided to lease prison space to inmates from other states. This prison received an infux of prisoners from Arizona last month according to the local news. No idea if the prisoners from Arizona are involved in this riot though.

I sure hope the workers and LE officers are okay.

The situation is back under control. I cannot believe our Governor privatized a prison along with everything else he's tried. Those inmates from Arizona would be away from their families who visited them, I am not surprised they would be unhappy!
