NEWTOWN—
Six staff members at the Garner Correctional Institution were injured after responding to a fight among inmates Friday afternoon, a state Department of Correction spokesman said.
Most of the injuries reported were back and shoulder sprains, said Andrius Banevicus, spokesman for department. He added that state police are expected to press charges. Around 12:15 p.m. the staff members were notified of a fight among a group of inmates in one of the prison's housing units. Banevicus said the fight was sparked by an inmate who had attacked another inmate with whom he had a previous dispute, as the group was being brought into the housing unit's showers. A total of six inmates were involved in the fight, authorities said..
