WALLA WALLA, Wash. —
One of the medium-security units at the Washington state Penitentiary at Walla Walla remains locked down Tuesday while officials investigate a weekend brawl.
A prison spokeswoman, Joni Aiyeku (ah-YEE'-koo), says 195 inmates in Unit 6 are locked down and 30 others who participated in Saturday's fighting are segregated in single cells.
She says officials haven't determined the cause of the fight that broke out among inmates. Two inmates were treated at the prison for cuts. Six guards who broke up the fight had minor injuries. Five were treated at a hospital and returned to work the same day.
Unit 6 is one of four medium-security units at the penitentiary that has a total population of nearly 2,300 prisoners.
