 NEW CASTLE, Ind. (AP) - About 500 inmates staged a two-hour riot at a medium-security men's prison Tuesday, injuring two staff members and setting fires in a courtyard before officials used tear gas to restore order.
Authorities were investigating whether the riot at the New Castle Correctional Facility started because prisoners newly arrived from Arizona were upset about their treatment.
Two staff members and seven inmates suffered minor injuries. The riot involved inmates from both states, and none escaped, officials said.
