Three inmates have tragically lost their lives, and nine others have sustained injuries following a gang-related brawl at Ely State Prison, Nevada's sole maximum-security facility. The distressing incident unfolded in a rural area of the state on a Tuesday afternoon, leading to a lockdown within the prison premises.
Nevada's Department of Corrections has characterized the violent episode as an 'altercation,' clarifying that no prison officers were harmed during the altercation. The department has refrained from disclosing the identities of the deceased inmates or the current conditions of the injured individuals.
