ELLSWORTH, Kan. (AP) Inmates at a state prison in central Kansas threw trash from their cells and damaged security cameras during a weekend disturbance that was the outbreak of prison unrest in less than a week.
The state Department of Corrections reported Tuesday that between 125 and 150 inmates were involved in the incident Sunday at the Ellsworth Correctional Facility. The disturbance lasted less than two hours and resulted in no staff or inmate injuries but prompted the lockdown of a building.
The disturbance came only three days after inmates at the Lansing Correctional Facility outside the Kansas City area rampaged through offices.
