L.A. jail brawl
An L.A. jail brawl left seven injured after inmates separated along racial lines and fought.
The brawl took place Wednesday at around 3:30 pm, breaking out at the Twin Towers Jail in Los Angeles. The racially charged fight raged on for 10 minutes before deputies were finally able to regain control. They used a barrage of pepper spray and sting balls to stop inmates from fighting, and the fire department was called as well.
The estimates of inmates hurt in the L.A. jail brawl varied, with the Los Angeles Fire Department putting the total at a dozen hurt. The Associated Press reported that seven inmates were taken to the hospital with minor to moderate injuries,with some of them being treated for exposure to pepper spray. None of the injures were considered life-threatening.
Officials said the brawl began among four inmates, but quickly spread to include 78 inmates who fought among racial groups in a housing pod.
Authorities said the L.A. jail brawl is not all that uncommon of an occurrence. Disturbances there and at the neighboring Men’s Central Jail are common.
For jail officials, the brawls have become an unfortunate reality as tension rises among inmates, who are separated by racial groups.
“This is something that does occur throughout our jail system from time to time,” said Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said, as quoted by the L.A. Times. “People in our jails are under a lot of tension … and it does regrettably happen.”
Those fights aren’t always just among inmates. In 2011, a fight broke out among Men’s Central jail employees at a Christmas party in Los Angeles. Afterward jail officials conducted a months-long investigation and fired seven deputies.
Twin Towers Correctional Facility is known as the jail where Paris Hilton served time in 2007.
Deputies noted that they’re still investigating the cause of the L.A. jail brawl.
