LOS ANGELES — The deaths of two men within 24 hours at California prisons are being investigated as homicides, the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation said.
The first death was reported Tuesday at California State Prison, Sacramento in Folsom, and the second was reported Wednesday morning at Salinas Valley State Prison.
Around 2:50 p.m. Tuesday, two inmates attacked Felipe Rodriguez, 36, with "an inmate-made weapon on a maximum security general population yard," corrections officials said.
